KSPTA is an all-volunteer organization, and we’re always looking for new voices and leaders in our community. Our Nominating Committee works to identify and recruit leaders for roles ranging from the Executive Board to Bacich Halloween Parade coordinator. “Nom Com” meets (virtually this year) in February or March at least once, usually twice.

If you are interested in serving on this committee or becoming a leader in your KSPTA, please email president@kspta.org by January 21, 2021.
