Vice President

The vice president presides over meetings when the president is absent, serves as a member of the board of directors, and may handle special assignments for the president. Before taking office and throughout the year, the vice president should keep up to date on all of the club’s goals and ongoing activities. To that end, it is important that the club president and vice president work together as a team. This can be particularly helpful for clubs that choose to have the incoming president serve as vice president before taking office. The vice presidency is not an automatic stepping stone to the presidency, but it serves as an excellent training ground for a future club leader.
