Although everyone in this unit wants to achieve the goal, no one in the unit speaks Spanish. What are this unit’s potential strengths and weaknesses?

  15. PTA Case Study #2Conducting a SWOT Analysis A suburban PTA unit wants to encourage more parents in their community to join PTA. However, most of their parents in the area work downtown and would miss meetings due to the long commutes back to their neighborhoods. A member in the unit works for a company that supports employee volunteerism. They have a downtown office and allow employees to use their space to host volunteer meetings after work hours. What is this unit’s external opportunity and threat?
