Online Membership Data Reporting

Why OMDR?

For years, PTAs have wanted a mechanism that would allow them to more quickly and cost-effectively collect dues, communicate with members, track demographics, and offer more member benefits. Using the technology available to us, National PTA kicked off their Online Membership and Dues Reporting (OMDR) project in 2003.

Designed to give local units the ability to enter data directly into the system, OMDR is a membership database that will help you keep track of your members, produce mailing labels, send mass e-mails to your members, and more.

Newsletters and Updates

Meaningful and timely two-way communications between local units and the Massachusetts PTA Board of Directors is a priority for the state Board of Directors. This is one way to achieve that goal. Archived newsletters are in .pdf format and require Adobe's free Acrobat Reader.

Membership

Why PTA Memberships are Important

"I can’t join the PTA because I don’t have enough time." "I don’t want to join the PTA because the president this year is no good." "I don’t want to sign my husband up for PTA because he will never be able to attend meetings or go to events". Sound Familiar? I’ve heard every reason at least 3 times. I want to tell you why PTA memberships are important in a simple, easy to understand way.
