Membership is open to anyone who believe in the national PTA Mission and Purpose. The PTA is committed to being inclusive in its efforts to represent and assist all who nurture and educate children. It not only welcomes but actively seeks in its male and female membership the widest diversity of cultures, races, ethnicities, creeds, and economic and educational status. Today's PTA member is you - mother, father, grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister or brother. You are the next door neighbor, community professionals, and the members of the education community. You don't necessarily have children in school, but you know that children are 100% of the future so you invest in your future and theirs, by joining the PTA. Many of you continue your investment as active volunteers serving in the school, on committees and as officers. Your membership commitment is why Virginia PTA/PTSA continues to be the third largest congress in the National PTA averaging over 368,000 members annually. Individual members may belong to one or more local units and pay dues in each. Every person who joins a local PTA automatically becomes a member of both the state and National PTA. http://www.vapta.org/Membership/joinPTA.htm
