Session Outline – Secretary
As the secretary, you maintain all club records, manage club files, handle club correspondence, and take the minutes at each club and executive committee meeting.
You are also in charge of updating and distributing a roster of the current paid membership, and keeping the club officer list current at World Headquarters.
Though some clubs combine the secretary role with the treasurer, it’s best to have a dedicated secretary who can help reduce the workload of the treasurer and occasionally assist the vice president education as well.
