The Maine State PTA is excited to introduce the Membership Awards Program (MAP) beginning in Fiscal Year 2026! This new initiative is designed to support and celebrate our local PTA units by setting clear membership growth and retention goals—and rewarding units that meet them.
🎯 Program Highlights: Annual goals for growth and retention set for each local PTA unit. Recognition and awards for units that meet or exceed their goals. Ongoing program with yearly updates based on feedback and evolving needs. May include new recognition opportunities or the removal of outdated ones.
💰 Program Funding: Initial funding provided by the State Capacity Building Grant from National PTA (awarded October 2024). Future funding will come from the Maine State PTA budget or other applicable grants. Stay tuned for more details on how your local unit can participate and be recognized for your amazing work in growing and sustaining PTA membership!
