Membership Committee

Mandate:

To promote, encourage and assist Home and School organization and activity throughout the province of Quebec. Responsible for working with local membership chairpersons; preparing membership kits and other information to help promote membership locally and provincially.

The benefit of a Home and School over a PPO are:

    That you are INDEPENDENT.
    All your members have input in decision making.
    You are entitled to have your own bank account.
    You, and your H&S members, are protected by liability insurance.
    You have extensive Liability Insurance as well as Directors and Officers Insurance.
    You have access to all the resources of the QFHSA.
    You have a Provincial organization who speaks out on your behalf.

Remember, you are all there for one purpose: TO ENHANCE AND ENRICH THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN IN YOUR SCHOOL!

Helpful Hints for a Smooth Running Membership Campaign:

    Send in the first Membership List and Fees by September 30.
    Include with this your Administration Fee.
    Send in subsequent lists and fees on a monthly basis.
    Never hold Membership money too long in your account. Your members have given it to you in trust. If it doesn't come into the office, they are not members and are not receiving the benefits that it brings them.
    For help in having a smooth running year, attend our workshops.
