Agents of Engagement: Celebrating Membership Success Across Indiana

Indiana PTA celebrates the hard work of our local units through our Membership Awards Program. These awards recognize PTAs and PTSAs that grow, engage, and sustain their membership, highlighting the impact strong membership has on schools and communities. Units of all sizes have the opportunity to be honored for their dedication, creativity, and success in building membership.

Together, we show that every member makes a difference. Each year, our “agents” of engagement complete their mission with ingenuity and teamwork, proving that small actions can have a big impact.

Awards will be presented at our annual convention, celebrating the outstanding achievements of our PTAs in front of their peers. Every unit’s efforts matter, and all are encouraged to participate and be recognized for their commitment to students and communities.

When units report their membership consistently and promptly through Givebacks, it allows Indiana PTA to easily track participation, recognize achievements, and provide support where it’s needed most.

his system helps ensure every member is counted and celebrated, making it simpler for units to qualify for awards, plan programs, and stay connected to the larger PTA community. Timely submissions keep everyone on the same page and strengthen the impact of our collective efforts.
