New Jersey PTA members elect a representative board of directors to manage the business of the association every two years at the annual meeting during the NJPTA Convention. The board of directors is charged, on behalf of all NJPTA members, with the fiduciary duty and oversight of the largest child advocacy organization in the state of New Jersey. In addition to the volunteer board positions, NJPTA is managed with the help of our staff. (Click here for staff page)
