I can see where it could be a problem at election time if someone wanted it to be. Get all your cousins and friends to join the PTO and elect you to an office. Like I've said before, I wish our school had enough interest in PTO for someone to try a coup d'pto. However, if there is a very qualified person that the ten regulars who do most of the work are planning on electing, the whole group can be messed up by this sort of thing.
Our group is open -- all parents/guardians are members. To vote, they need to register. Anyone else with an interest -- neighbors, grandparents, uncles, cousins, can petition to be 'Honorary Members'. Technically, the President can deny membership, so if I saw a bunch of people from the same family, etc who have never been around school asking for membership, I would have to make some calls before granting their requests.
