President: The president delegates tasks, checks in with the coordinators and chairs on a monthly basis, and creates an agenda for each board meeting. The President ensures the club operates under the rules of USFSA and presents items to the club for vote. They are also one of the signatures on the club bank account.
Vice President: The vice president helps run board meetings if the President is unable to attend, stays on top of the club email, and encourages continuing education opportunities for coaches, parents, and skaters. They are also one of the signatures of the club bank account.
Secretary: The secretary takes minutes and notes for each board meeting, or assigns the task to someone else if they can't be in attendance. The secretary gives all information to the website administrator so that it can be posted regularly so the general membership has access to all the same information. The secretary also drafts an email with the information from the meetings and sends it to the newsletter chairperson to be included on monthly information that goes out.
Treasurer: The treasurer keeps track of all revenue and expenses for the club. The treasurer files taxes each year. Generally, no taxes will be taken out since our non profit doesn't generate enough profit but they still need to be filed so we are in accordance with federal law. The treasurer creates and distributes a list of all monthly earnings/expenses to present at each board meeting or appoints someone to do so if they cannot attend.
Membership Chair: The membership chair checks the entryeeze account on a weekly basis for any new members who need to be processed by the USFSA program.
