Hi,

I am Secretary of PTO for the first time and would like to know any tips on being GREAT at it. Any information would be great. Hints of any kind are more than welcome. I really want to be organized and do a good job. Thanks for your help. Also, I know I have to keep the minutes of the meeting, so is there any type of paperwork that I can go by to pass out to the other members? Thanks

The hardest part but most appreciated is to stay ahead of the game, keep the President informed and that you are trying to keep up with the meeting (taking notes). Most of my time while Secretary was writing thank you
notes, working on the newsletter, keeping in touch with the Prez for the agenda and whatever else comes up.
Keep yourself organized, try not to become overwelmed, and have fun with it!
I put impotant papers I knew I would need in sheet protectors and color coded folders. I always had thank notes on hand, paper, pens (they die on me during the worst times!) and my wits! the only real PTO item I purchased for me was Roberts Rules. WOW this is long! I hope this helps! May the force be with you!
