MSU Parent/Family Advisory Board
Member Registration
Becoming actively involved in Montana State University through participation on the Parent/Family Advisory Board is a rewarding way to share your son or daughter's college years. Not to be confused with the traditional Parent Teacher Organizations, the PFA Board’s main role is to offer resources and support to MSU families and our students, to provide a network for parents and families to interact with one another and to share input with the university about various issues. Board members may be couples or individuals and are required only to have an interest in connecting more closely with Montana State University. The following are the typical responsibilities of the Board:
- To attend the annual meeting of the PFA in the fall of each year on campus during Parent/Family Fall Weekend and the mid-year meeting at a time/place chosen by the Board (this meeting is available via conference call – no travel required);
- To assist with Parent/Family Fall Weekend: board members offer advice on programming and structure of the event and have ample opportunities to volunteer during the event (an excellent venue to network with other families about their students, the Bozeman area and campus resources) - 2008 dates are October 17-19;
- To help plan and implement the Parent/Family Fall Weekend Silent Auction;
- To volunteer to attend other functions, such as Orientation, where the presence of the PFA is important;
- To provide feedback to President Gamble, Provost Dooley and Communications and Public Affairs on behalf of parents/families on issues of concern;
- To offer suggestions and comments regarding resources including the Parent Family Web site and the PFA monthly newsletter;
- To provide advice, assistance and support for a successful annual Parent's Fund appeal;
- To share your talents with the PFA: the PFA is for you, your ideas and suggestions have a forum and there are many creative ways that you can be a part of strengthening the PFA and Montana State University. Let us know how you would like to help!
