Executive Board

There are five roles, President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Editor, that comprise what is known as the "e-board." Elections take place in February and anyone who became a member by the previous December is eligible to run for office.

The e-board meets at least once a week for several hours during the school year. They are responsible for running the weekly club meetings and the overall administration of the organization. Though being a member of the e-board is very time consuming and requires a high degree of dedication to the club, it is an extremely rewarding (and fun!) experience.
