Lisa Mount, Rural Specialist
 
Hi, my name is Lisa Mount and I am the Rural Specialist at NYS PTA....I am so proud to be a part of the PTA in my local units, region and state. I know as a team, we can make a difference and advocate for all the children who need us to be their voices. We all have so many different gifts and talents, and if we can compile them all together, we make a well functioning body of amazing men and women that can accomplish so much. PTA Your Way may be different for each of us, but our goal will always be the same, the children....I can tell you the friends you make through PTA will make your life better by knowing they have your back....

Nassau Region Highlight
Andrea Giattini, Nassau Region Membership Chair (RMC)

I am Andrea Giattini, the Nassau Region Membership Chair.  This is my second year as RMC and being involved in Nassau Region.  I have been involved in parents’ clubs and PTA since my oldest was in kindergarten in the mid 1990’s.

 

I have been on the Sixth Grade Committee, the Holiday Plant Sale Chair for 3 years, the Mother’s Day Plant Sale Chair for 4 years, Treasurer of the PTSA, Treasurer of the District Council, Chair of the Council Scholarship Committee and, most recently, member of the Council Bylaws Committee.

 

I hope I am a resource to my Region Units for Membership information and ideas.  I have held a “Membership Chat” for Nassau Region Unit Membership Chairs and Presidents.  This was an informal meeting to discuss Membership issues in the virtual world of PTA.  I hope to expand this chat to have Units share their best practices and ideas for growing Membership in the next year.

 

Nassau Region has 19 Units that have exceeded their Membership Goal for the 2020-2021 year.  Nassau Region Units have received many Membership Award Badges.  We are proud of the work our Units are doing.
