Executive Board
Positions and Duties

The Executive Board is responsible for the success of the Student Leadership as a whole. They are responsible for setting meeting times, grading agendas, enforcing the Honor Code, deciding on a system for procedure, and amending the constitution if necessary. One person may hold each Student Body Office. All executive board members must demonstrate integrity, honor, and adhere to school regulations and procedures (found in the student handbook) at all times. Each executive board member must have accessible means of communication via e-mail, phone, cellphone, etc.

Agendas for meetings must be established ahead of time and posted. Agenda items should be turned in to secretary 1 week ahead of time for posting. Agendas for the meetings will be posted no later then 1 day before the meeting, in the student council display case. The secretary is responsible for typing and posting agendas, not creating them.

Student Body President:
The Student Body President is the highest-ranking member of the Student Leadership, and should be the ultimate role model at all times. The Student Body President reserves the right to amend the duties and roles of the Executive Board at any time with only the consent of the member with whom the decision would directly affect, and the sponsors. It is the duty of the Student Body President to create an agenda (with the help of the Executive Board and Sponsors, if needed) for each meeting, to run all General and Executive Board meetings, to represent student needs, and to put the duties of President in high priority. The president is also responsible for overseeing the Executive Board, assigning Executive Board duties, overseeing the calendar of events, overseeing all committees, and evaluating the Executive Board. The President must also oversee resource allocation at all times.

Student Body Vice-President:
The primary objectives of the Student Body Vice-President are to support the Student Body President at all times, and develop a strong understanding of current Student Leadership engagements. To accomplish this, they must work hand in hand with president. In the absence of the Student Body President, the Student Body Vice-President accepts the full duties and responsibilities of the Student Body President. The Vice-President is responsible for member evaluations, and will act as the Faculty/Administration liaison. In the event of the President resigning, the Vice-President will accept their duties for the remainder of their term.

Student Body President Elect:
The Student Body President Elect must note the successes and failures of their current Student Body President and Student Leadership as a whole in preparation for their term as Student Body President. It is the duty of the President Elect to plan for the future of Student Leadership, in part by listening to ideas for the future. To practice organizational and work skills, the President Elect is responsible for Dave Noblitt Day and all related events. They are also responsible for setting 2-year goals for the mission of student council (this is to be done working closely with the president). They are also to monitor successes and failures (build on successes and learn from failures) of all events.

Student Body Secretary:
The Secretary must take minutes and keep attendance records at all Student Leadership and Executive Board meetings. These records and minutes are to be kept for future reference. They are also responsible for keeping calendar of scheduled absences, and notifying the appropriate people. In the absence of the Treasurer, the Student Leadership Secretary will also act as Treasurer and take over their duties.

Student Body Treasurer:
The Treasurer is responsible for the approving and recording of all financial transactions. They must maintain an appropriate accounting system at all times. The approval system for these transactions must be agreed upon by the President and Sponsors ahead of time. They are also responsible for setting specific budgets, and keeping track of the budgets. In the absence of the Student Body Secretary, the treasurer will take over their duties.

Student Body Historian:
The Historian is to keep photographic and written records of the impact, success, and failures of Student Leadership events. Unlike the Secretary, who records actual decisions and minutes, the Historian is to analyze current and past events and keep photographic records to help the Executive Board make sound decisions. The records must be an on going reviewable document kept throughout the year, preferably in digital format.

Communications Director:
The Communications Director is responsible for submitting Student Leadership articles to appropriate publications (student council articles in the Bulldog News and other newsletters), maintaining a system to collect and present student concerns, and advertising for Student Leadership events. They are also to maintain communication between the faculty, administration, and students in timely fashion.
