PTA Lifetime Membership Nominations 2024-2025


Nominations are now open for the Harrington Elementary PTA Honorary Lifetime Membership Awards! 
 
Receiving an Honorary Lifetime Membership Award is one of the highest forms of recognition to let a volunteer know how much we truly appreciate their dedication to our children and the community. Nominees/awardees, while usually a member of PTA, do not have to be a member of PTA, nor must the service for this honor being bestowed be connected with the PTA. The ONLY requirement for receiving this honor is that the recipient has made worthwhile contributions to the wellbeing of children and youth. 
 
Who do you think deserves to be recognized at Harrington? Please submit your nominations via this form. You may submit more than one nomination.
 
Nominations are due by Thursday, January 30.
 
You can view a list of previous winners here: https://harringtonpta.membershiptoolkit.com/volunteer-recognition
