President: Virginia Jicha, Fayetteville
Virginia Jicha, Fayetteville, began her service to the NCPTA Board of Directors in July 2013. She currently serves as an at-large member of the board as well as chair of Leadership Committee, and a member of the Nominating and Executive Committees.
She received a Bachelor’s of Science from Appalachian State University in Communications Media in 1988 and a Masters in School Administration in 2016 from Fayetteville State University.
Virginia is a very passionate child advocate. When she became a mom, she discovered the wonder of seeing life through the eyes of the innocent. Virginia became active at the school level and joined PTA because PTA brings programs to schools and provides opportunities for all children.
She is passionate about children, animals, and those who lack the knowledge to help themselves. When asked what makes her happy, it is knowing that she has helped someone become a better version of themselves.
