📣 Chesapeake PTA Leaders — a quick reminder!

As we get the new school year underway, please make sure your PTA is staying on track with two important items:

💰 Remit your membership dues
📋 Submit your required compliance documents

Keeping these items current helps your PTA remain in good standing and ensures your unit has access to the resources, support, and benefits available through PTA.

✨ And don’t forget about Givebacks Auto-Pay!
If your unit hasn’t opted in yet, Auto-Pay can make dues remittance one less thing for your Treasurer to remember. Set it up once, and Givebacks can automatically remit dues based on your unit’s activity. 🙌
