PTO Committees Information
The PTO president and executive officers should never do it all! PTO committees are a vital part of the PTO at MPES and a great way to share the work and develop new leadership. A definite purpose has been established for each committee as they plan and promote the activities of MPES PTO. Each committee chairperson is responsible for the activities of their committee including planning, communication, receiving board approval (when necessary), and follow-through.
Many thanks to our hard-working MPES PTO chair-people who get it all done! Without you, the PTO isn’t possible!
