The officers of this club shall be president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer.
The president is the chief executive officer of the club and takes the lead in determining club objectives. The president also works with all club officers to ensure that the club's interest is being observed in matters of finance, publicity, news of club members, informal reunions, and fundraising programs. The president maintains contact with AC sponsors on behalf of the club. The careful selection of club officers is vital to an energetic, active club. The president may be asked to fill officer vacancies arising between club officer elections. In many clubs, recognizing the efforts of officers who do a good job is an important role for the president.
The vice president works with the club president and other officers in planning, organizing, and implementing club programs. In the absence of the president, the vice president exercises the powers and duties of the president. The vice president is responsible for maintaining all documents, pictures, videos and digital correspondence with regard to club activities. In addition, the vice president will be made the social media administrator for all accounts including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Keeping an accurate record of the club’s history is important to the continuation of the club as these records set precedence for the preservation of the charter, documentation, and historical records of the club.
The Secretary/Treasurer keeps excellent records of the whereabouts and activities of club members and actively solicits and communicates news about club members. Communication initiatives include: send out letters or postcards with return sections, send holiday or birthday cards, call or visit club members, gather news and professional conferences, list names in each column of club members from whom they want to hear and enlist the help from other club members in gathering material. In addition, the Secretary/Treasurer is responsible for the financial resources and liabilities of the club under the supervision of the sponsors. Financial responsibilities encompass every program and event that the club undertakes and will require the Secretary/Treasurer to maintain all financial records and budget of the club. The club officers, members, and sponsors rely on the Secretary/Treasurer’s attention to detail, patience and diplomacy.
