• Attend all meetings of the Local PTA.
  
• Represent the Local PTA as a voting member of the Council PTA body.
  
• Participate fully in Council PTA discussions and deliberations. Each delegate (or alternate) is entitled to make motions, debate and vote at each Council PTA meeting
  
• Maintain a procedure book.
  
• Take careful notes of announcements and the program at the Council PTA meeting. 
  
• Report announcements, important actions and the Council PTA program to the Local PTA/PTSA members and/or its executive board.
  
• Place announcements of Council PTA activities in the Local PTA's bulletin or newsletter.
  
• Seek information or approval from the Local PTA members on matters referred to the Local PTA for such approval or information, and be ready to report or vote accordingly at the Council PTA meeting.
  
• Notify Local PTA/PTSA board members of the next Council PTA meeting and urge them to attend as well.
