Past-President

Minnesota PTA's State Board of Directors has a long history of active Past-Presidents. 

Our immediate Past-President serves as an ex-officio member of our Board and works with the current President to allow for a smooth transition between leadership teams. This also allows the Past-President to complete any programs or projects they may not have been able to complete during their term.

If you would like to find out more about being on Minnesota PTA's Board of Directors or are interested in any of our open positions, please contact Amy Nelson, President, at amyn@mnpta.org.
