Board Roles and Descriptions
This document was created to help provide a more in depth understanding of each Board member role. It includes details such as a brief role description, responsibilities, common tasks, and expectations for how the board will operate. This only provides guidance and insight as different members may decide to share or collaborate on specific items as needed or if vacancies occur mid term. Vice Presidents are member elected positions held for a 2 year term. Director level roles are appointed as needed by the board to help achieve their goals and objectives as well as provide opportunities for growth to those potentially interested in becoming board members down the road. We also highly recommend you reach out to the current Board member of any role you are considering volunteering for to hear more about the position.

Election Process
The first step in our elections process is for the Board to solicit and approve a nominations committee of 5 - 7 active chapter members. This committee will help ensure prospective board applicants understand the board roles, requirements, and have the experience to lead the chapter successfully. By separating this function from the Board we are able to ensure a transparent and unbiased review. Typically once the committee is created there will be a kick off meeting to define objectives and ways of working for their contribution to the elections process. This includes familiarizing them with the timeline of the election cycle, the scoring rubric, and qualification criteria among other relevant information.
