Presidents Councils are responsible for assisting in the establishment of new PAs and the re-establishment of PAs that have ceased to function. In addition, Presidents Councils provide assistance to PAs in their jurisdiction by providing guidance on the drafting and revising of bylaws, observing and conducting elections, developing new parent leaders and resolving disputes, upon appropriate request.
