Membership Is Open to Everyone

PTA is an inclusive organization. We welcome parents, extended family members, guardians, neighbors, teachers, school administrators, community members and civic leaders. The more voices who join our one voice to speak up for every child, the closer to our vision of ‘making every child’s potential a reality’ we become.

Membership Makes a Difference!

Illinois PTA wants to celebrate local units who register and submit dues payments for all their members on a timely basis. Units submitting updated membership registration & full dues payments insures accurate total membership numbers giving Illinois PTA & National PTA a larger influence to effectively advocate & make a difference.

Illinois PTA is sponsoring 3 Membership Incentive Drawings during the 2024-2025 school year:
• October 1
• December 1
• February 1st

Eligible units will be entered in drawing(s) for an opportunity to win $125 to use for membership appreciation incentives, events, or recognition. We want to help you say thank you to your members.
