Join the Board!

Have you enjoyed the events the RDMPA has put on this year? Do you want to help strengthen our Rio community and raise much needed funds for our school?

Then you should join the RDMPA Board!


Board members are required to attend one meeting a month. Otherwise, the time requirements are actually quite minimal, you'd be surprised!


To find out more please join us at this Thursday's Parent Alliance Meeting, 6:30pm online. You can also contact RDMPA President, Laura Mottram, for more information.


We have four different positions to fill:


Vice President (UPDATE: POSITION FILLED)

  • In the absence of the President, the Vice President assumes the President’s duties. The Vice President may advance to the Presidency in the second year of his/her two year-term.

  • Review all bank statements with the Treasurer for reconciliation.

  • Keep a roster of Active Members based on attendance of monthly meetings.

Volunteer Coordinator (UPDATE: POSITION FILLED)
