Every spring it is our election season in May/June.
Each year, we are seeking a candidate that is going to JSM to run for our VP/Chapter Rep. office. This is a three-year office term. This officer is more concerned with the short-term plans of the chapter as opposed to the Directors who have the longer-term vision in mind and the Secretary/Treasurer who is responsible for day-to-day operations. But, obviously, there is a lot of synergy between these roles.
First year: As VP and Chapter Rep. attend the Council of Chapters meeting at JSM and report back to our chapter. You will receive a reimbursement for your JSM registration once you return. This year is about learning how the chapter does things within our limited budget while working with our academic/industry/government partners. And to be there if the President is unable to perform their duties (for example, we have had Presidents resign for various reasons).
Second year: As the President, you will have great latitude in planning the annual meeting: the location, the topic, the speaker(s), etc. This is your chance to do whatever it is that you have always wanted the chapter to do!
Third year: As Past-president, you have no formal duties. But, you will work with the other officers to give the benefit of your advice for the good of the chapter.
