Due to covid restrictions over this past year, it has been especially difficult to fill our Council board for the 2021-22 school year. Santa Barbara Area Council of PTAs is asking for your help in filling the following positions so that we may support our units and run healthy PTAs. 

President
VP of Leadership
VP of Communications
Tresurer
Auditor
Historian
Parliamentarian
Membership Chair
Honorary Service Awards Chairperson

Please email Andrea Carrara right away if you are interested in serving on the board or as a committee chairperson. You will make a huge difference, and the time commitment is much smaller than working at the unit level.
