Per our Club’s constitution, we will hold our bi-annual election of club officers this February. The election will elect our executive board, whose members will serve a two-year term beginning March 2025. Each position is described below:
- The President is the Chairperson and principal officer of the Club. The President enforces adherence to the club’s Constitution, appoints all standing and special committee chairs, calls Executive Board meetings and special membership meetings, presides at all meetings, supervises other officers in the performance of duties, mediates all disputes that may arise within the Club, and performs all other acts as required by the Constitution.
- Vice-Presidents (2) act for the President in the event of absence. The Vice Presidents perform such duties as the President delegates to them and serve as the President’s chief administrators and representatives. Our club has a First Vice-President and Second Vice-President. Per our Constitution, the President and First Vice-President must be of different genders.
