In her own words, here are Ruchi's plans to leverage her skills and experiences to improve the PTSA:

What are the partner management skills that I use at PTSA:
"Parent , teacher, students are partners in the school curriculum system. Each have different ways of achieving a common goal at Fernwood. I empathize in my communication with these partners and aspire to align them to Fernwood’s beliefs. As partners we help grow the community together!"

Why stakeholder management:
"The stakeholders in the community need an organized channel of communication. They need a common contact to talk to.

Please don’t hesitate to send me an email message.
I can be reached at ruchi.fernwoodptsa@gmail.com

I would love to discuss any suggestions or concerns."
