Reach for the Stars with Our Membership Recognition Program
Illinois PTA has a new membership recognition program to honor PTAs, PTA Councils, and Regions that grow and support PTA membership. The tiered program will recognize membership growth not just in this school year but is also structured for PTAs to build on their success year after year.
-
To earn these reward levels, a PTA must meet the following requirements:
- Must be an active PTA for more than three fiscal years (so a baseline membership can be calculated—see below).
- Must have met the minimum membership requirements in the Illinois PTA bylaws for the current and previous three fiscal years.
- Must be a unit in good standing.
-
Recognition will be awarded based on the level of membership growth a PTA has attained (more details on that below). The rewards are as follows:
- Bronze Star: Digital awards identifying the PTA as a “Bronze Star PTA” sized for use on social media and websites, physical recognition certificate that can be displayed at school, and recognition on the Illinois PTA website.
- Silver Star: Bronze Star rewards plus recognition in the Illinois PTA Convention Program.
- Gold Star: Silver Star rewards plus recognition during the Illinois PTA Convention Awards event.
- Platinum Star: Gold Star rewards plus a vinyl recognition banner with reinforced grommets that can be displayed at the school or at PTA events with the year of recognition included.
-
Starting your Journey to the Stars
The baseline membership number for each PTA that has not earned a reward level the previous year will be based on the PTA’s growth over the average membership for the three previous years.
- Bronze Level – previous three-year average membership plus 1 member
- Silver Level – previous three-year average membership plus 25% growth
- Gold Level – previous three-year average membership plus 50% growth
- Platinum Level – previous three-year average membership plus 75% growth
Continuing Levels
Once a unit has earned a reward level, their rewards in the following year are based on the previous year’s membership only (not the three-year average). Units with an increase in membership can rise up to three levels:
- Membership growth <10% from the previous year: maintain current reward level.
- Membership growth 10% to 24% from the previous year: go up one reward level.
- Membership growth 25% to 49% from the previous year: go up two reward levels.
- Membership growth 50% or more from the previous year: go up three reward levels.
The highest reward level remains Platinum Star, so a PTA at the Gold Star level that increases membership by 30% still only goes up one level to Platinum Star.
Units that see a decrease in membership from the previous year may drop one or more levels:
- Membership decrease <10% from the previous year: maintain current reward level.
- Membership decrease 10% to 19% from the previous year: go down one reward level.
- Membership decrease 20% to 29% from the previous year: go down two reward levels.
- Membership decrease 30% or more from the previous year: go down three reward levels.
Units that drop below the Bronze Star level will need to start their journey to the stars again.
For units that earn the Platinum Star level for a second time, a sticker with the year will be provided that can be attached to the vinyl banner. The vinyl banner will have space for ten different year stickers. A PTA unit will receive a new vinyl banner when they reach the Platinum level for an eleventh time (and 21st time, etc.). PTAs will be able to display their Platinum Star status much like sports teams display their championships on banners.
-
For PTA Councils and Regions, the program is identical to that for local PTA units; however, their membership baseline, target, or previous year numbers are calculated based on the total for all of their constituent units. The continuing level process would also work similarly to that for local PTA units.
