All PTO Board Members are expected to attend all General and Board meetings and are supportive of all PTO events and efforts. They are a great point of contact for the community about the happenings of the Brown Elementary School.

Event chairs need not be part of the PTO board and are not required to attend monthly meetings but are always welcome.
