Program & Committee Chairs

The PTSA does much of its work through various committees and their appointed chairs. Somerset Elementary PTSA is extremely thankful for those who continuously give of their time. We are grateful for the many who have taken on the duties and responsibilities of chairperson for various committees and programs. These programs benefit many, if not all, of the students and staff in our school.

The PTSA board is looking for volunteers to chair numerous committees and serve on the Board. We need creative, hard working, dedicated, and enthusiastic people (Dads and Grandparents are welcome)! Please remember that you don't have to do all the work yourself. A big part of your job is delegating, communicating, and assigning the volunteers to serve under you.

The chairs report to various elected officers of the PTSA Board of Directors.
