Executive Committee Position Responsibilities

The Executive Board is typically elected at the end of the spring semester for the following school year. New chapters may hold elections at the beginning of their first semester, or they may utilize an application process for the first semester and then hold elections in the spring. The Executive Board works alongside the Advisor and Student President to support members, plan events, recruit, encourage community service and a variety of other roles and tasks involved in successfully running a chapter.

Executive Board members are encouraged to form committees as needed to help connect the members of the chapter, increase creative involvement, and provide a vehicle for enhancing the leadership skills of members. As a community of leaders it is typically very easy to find many members interested in taking a very active role.

Members interested in holding a position within the chapter can reach out to the Student President or Advisor for information about the process. The most common Board Officers and a list of general duties are as follows:
