The President is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Parents’ Association and works closely with Advancement and the Head of School office to ensure that PA initiatives are done in coordination with School policy, culture and direction. The President is responsible for calling meetings, developing the agenda for meetings, and for leading all Executive, Board and General Membership meetings.
The Vice President - assists the President, presides over Executive Committee and General Membership meetings in the absence of the President, and performs other duties delegated by the President to the Vice President from time to time, especially as to representation of the Parents’ Association.
The Secretary - maintains attendance and keep and prepares accurate minutes of Executive Committee, Board and General Membership meetings. The Secretary provides copies of such minutes for distribution and approval no later than the next regular meeting. The Secretary keeps copies of all official minutes, records, and other forms, and other communications of the Parents’ Association in an up-to-date binder available at each meeting. When requested by the President or Executive Committee, the Secretary may prepare other correspondence on behalf of the Parents’ Association.
The Treasurer - oversees all funds in all of the Parents’ Association accounts, though PA funds are maintained and monitored by the School Business Office, consistent with School fiscal policies and required auditing standards and procedures. The Treasurer has the power to authorize payments from PA accounts. The Treasurer presents written snapshots of the Parents’ Association’s current financial position at each Executive Committee meeting and at least annually to the General Membership, at the request of the President.
Division Coordinators - There are two Division Coordinators for each division of the School (ECP, Lower, Middle and Upper).

General Board Positions
Grade Level Representatives - GLRs are the point of contact for new families, plan social gatherings for the grade approximately twice a year and act as a liaison between grade level teachers and the families in the grade. A lot of this job is done over email.
Saints' Closet Chairs - Saints’ Closet is the PA’s biggest and most important fundraising effort. Through the collection and resale of gently used uniforms, the PA is able to fund our initiatives. The Chairs manages all aspects of the uniform consignment store. Duties include, but are not limited to, overseeing uniform intake, organizing store room, planning sale dates, ordering store supplies, assisting in recruiting volunteers, pricing and tagging clothes, reporting sales’ revenues to the PA President and Treasurer and coordinating with the School's Business Office to send annual consignment payout to parents who have consigned uniforms.
Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day Chairs and Committee - Every year, the school welcomes grandparents and special friends to share in the preschool and lower school classroom experiences. This year, more than 400 visitors will come to campus on this special morning. This committee helps to plan and manage the day (with the help of many day-of volunteers). This committee is best for preschool and lower school families since this event is only for preschool and K-4 students.
Faculty and Staff Appreciation Chairs and Committee - The Faculty and Staff make the school what it is. This committee plans and executes activities to show the people who work at St. Anne's just how important they are. The nice thing about this committee is that all activities are pre-planned, so you can sign up to help whenever it works for you, as often as you like or just one time!
Library Co-Chairs and Committee - In this committee you can help to plan and execute programming in the library. Activities range from reshelving books to organizing a book swap to checking out books during Off the Shelf Tuesdays after school. (Did you know that all parents can check out books at the St. Anne's library?) Next year we are looking at expanding library initiatives so there is even more fun to be had!
Saints Cares Co-Chairs and Committee - This committee sends a little Saint's love to community members who are going through a hard time (a broken arm, a death, etc.) and also to those who are experiencing a joyous time (a new baby in the family, you got selected to be one of the 4 astronauts on the next moon mission!, etc.).
Saints Welcome Committee - This committee serves as the point of contact for new families, keeping them informed about the annual events and traditions that make us a community. We want all Saints to feel seen, welcomed and included.
