Comments from predecessor: I found this to be a pretty straight forward position. Attending the WA PTA classes was a help. Zoom meetings had pros and cons – the slide shows the president presented was helpful to fill in details. Asking people to post motions in chat. Harder to jump in and ask questions. Harder to maintain attendance.
