PFA Board Spring Elections
Our PFA Executive Board is always working on making the next year even better. We are always happy to have parents help in any way they can, and we need new board members every year. If you think you might be interested in a board position, please join one of our PFA meetings (see the Calendar page of this website), or contact our Administrative VPs, Colby Bekhor or Debbie Buxer.
Every year the PFA holds annual Board Elections in the Spring. All PFA positions are open and available for voting. Each PFA position can be shared between 2 people (with the exception of President). Following is how the PFA Election Process works:
1) Spring Election dates are announced.
2) All Bay Laurel Parents can submit their name for any position on the board.
3) Ballots are prepared and sent electronically to all parents via email in February/March of the current school year.
4) Ballots are collected and counted electronically, then winners are determined.
5) Election winners are announced in one of the Sunday PFA email blasts in April.
6) Outgoing PFA Board Members are thanked; incoming PFA Board members are "installed" at our PFA Installation Meeting at the end of May.
A brief overview of our elected positions include the following (for additional detail on each position, please contact PFA President, Dawn Sue-Dare):
