OFFICER ELECTIONS
We will be electing this year's officers at our next meeting at 6 pm Tuesday, September 10th in North Quad 137. If you would like to run or if you would just like to vote, please come.
Description of Officer Duties
President -- Calls and presides over meetings. Coordinates the activities of the other officers. Serves as a spokesperson for the organization and go-between with the faculty advisor. Must be willing to take on or reassign additional duties when other officers are unable to fulfill them.
Vice President -- Works in conjunction with the President in an active partnership. Must be able to perform the duties of the President if the President should become temporarily unavailable. If the President leaves office, the Vice President automatically becomes the new President.
Secretary -- Is responsible for taking minutes at both general and officers' meetings. Must keep track of who agrees to do what, when and how, and should be able to provide that information when requested. Serves as our memory so we don't become disorganized and forget anything important.
Treasurer -- Keeps track of the organization's funds, including our current balance, debts, and expected future expenditures. When someone needs to be reimbursed, the Treasurer collects their receipt and fills out and submits a reimbursement form to the department. This person must be highly organized, since a mislaid receipt will make it impossible to reimburse someone.
Activities Chairperson -- In charge of planning and coordinating the organization's various activities throughout the year. This officer is not expected to plan or organize every activity, but she must keep track of and oversee them to make sure everything goes smoothly and that everyone knows what they are doing. She also has a big say in what refreshments are served at the meetings.
Historian -- The Historian's main duty is to familiarize herself with the rituals and history of the Induction ceremony held at the end of the year. She plans and presides over the ceremony and contacts the inductees beforehand to see when they will be available and what sort of ceremony they would like.
