Vice President Report: September 2016 to May 2017
My role in the BCPTA is prepare and arrange the meetings and assist on the day of
our workshops.
We have 7 Board meetings from September to June. Before each meeting I email a
request for agenda items and board members of the date. I prepare the agenda and
send it out to the members one week before the meeting. On the day of the meeting I
set up the space, pick up snacks and prepare them.
At the workshops you will see me at the sign in table at the beginning and the end of
the day and doing anything else that needs to be done. Also, I’ve organized and
delivered the welcoming announcements at workshops when Johanna is not
available.
I make recommendations to the education committee for presenters and fill in any
gaps of information like facility rentals, email communication, hotel information for
conference participants, school district pro-d information, online banking etc.

firsthand.

upcoming year. In the fall we will have Mary Anne Paré presenting for two days in
