IMPORTANT NOTICE: MPA NEEDS AN EXECUTIVE BOARD!

We are reaching out to sincerely ask parents and guardians to consider stepping up and joining the Bloomfield Music Parents Association (MPA) Executive Board.

The MPA plays an important role in supporting our students, music directors, and music programs throughout the year. We care deeply about these programs and the opportunities they provide our children, and we want to see them continue to thrive for years to come.

Three board members have completed their terms, leaving three positions open and only our Vice President planning to remain on the board. As former board members, we recognize how important it is to have a team ready to carry this work forward. Some of us are willing to continue helping because we care so much about the MPA and don't want to see these programs left without the support they need. At the same time, those of us who have served also need to be able to pass the torch and make room for new parents to get involved. We cannot sustain this work without others being willing to step forward and share the responsibility.

We truly need parents to consider taking on these roles so the MPA can continue its work and our students can continue benefiting from the programs and opportunities it helps provide.

We know that families have busy schedules and that joining a board can sometimes feel intimidating or overwhelming. We want to reassure you that serving on the MPA Executive Board is very manageable, especially compared to many elementary school HSA boards. You don't need previous board experience to make a meaningful contribution.

Here are a few things to know:

• You won't be doing it alone. New board members will receive guidance and support from former board members.

• We've worked hard to set the next board up for success. The current board has updated the bylaws, strengthened procedures and protocols, increased community visibility, grown memberships, and organized successful fundraisers and events.

• You will have a strong foundation to build on. Much of the groundwork is already in place, making this a great opportunity to get involved and help move the MPA forward.

The following positions are open:

• President (2-year term)

• Treasurer (2-year term)

• Secretary (2-year term)

See BYLAWS attached below, page 2-3, for descriptions of the available roles.

Please consider whether you might be able to serve in one of these roles. If you're interested, have questions, or would simply like to learn more before committing, please email the MPA Board. We'd be happy to talk with you about what's involved and answer any questions.
