Description of Committee Roles

COMMITTEES

Brill's PTO has nine (9) permanent committee chairpersons, liaisons, and other appointed roles defined within our bylaws. The current board has defined six (6) other chairpersons to support the work and objectives of the PTO.

In alignment with the wishes of the Executive Committee, chairperson position submissions will also be reviewed and slated by the nominating committee. One applicant will be appointed to each respective chairperson role, unless the committee calls for two chairpersons. Committee chairpersons will reach out to coordinate with their committees over the summer or early next fall.

In selecting a committee chairperson through this form, you are expressing your interest in being considered for appointment to that role. Individuals who express interest in chairing a committee but are not selected for a chairperson position may be given the opportunity to participate as committee members instead.
