An Arkansas PTA Honorary Life Membership Award is presented to an individual for distinguished service to children and youth. These memberships have special significance as enduring symbols of outstanding service.


WHO CAN PRESENT ONE?
Local PTA/PTSA units, PTA/PTSA Councils and Arkansas PTA


HOW IS THE RECIPIENT CHOSEN?
The local unit, council or state PTA President may appoint a committee or it may be voted upon by the membership. The award must be given to an individual, not a group or couple. If a couple deserves this recognition, two awards should be presented.


IS THERE A COST INVOLVED?
Yes. The donation of $42 (S+H is included) covers the cost of the Arkansas PTA Honorary Life Member Pin and the wallet identification card. This should be a budgeted expense.


WHAT IS THE MONEY USED FOR?
All proceeds from the Arkansas PTA Honorary Life Membership Awards are used to support the Arkansas PTA Scholarships that are given to graduating seniors, adults returning to college to join the education field and for certified teachers to do their graduate work.


WHY PRESENT AN HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARD?
In every community and PTA, there are individuals who have volunteered their time and support to the children and youth. The Arkansas PTA Life Membership is an honorary membership that is presented in recognition of outstanding and faithful service performed in the interest and welfare of children and youth. The recipient need not be a member of a PTA; he/she could be a teacher, administrator, board of education member, crossing guard, community member, parent, any person who has given outstanding services to children and youth.


MAY LOST PINS BE REORDERED?
Yes. A replacement pin may be ordered through the State PTA office. The cost for a replacement pin is $25.


WHAT ARE THE PRIVILEGES?
Although Life Membership does not carry voting privileges, it does give the recipient guest privileges at the Annual Convention upon payment of the registration fee. The recipient may become an active voting member through payment of dues to a local unit. A PTA may choose to honor the recipient in other ways by providing “special” benefits.


ALL FUNDS COLLECTED FROM HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIPS ARE APPLIED TO THE  ARKANSAS PTA SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
