Important Club Information
SAC Executive Committee Information
The current SAC executive committee is nearing the end of their 2 years of service.
The club is looking for the following positions to be filled. Below is an overview of the roles and tasks:
1. President: main duties include leading the monthly SAC meetings, coordinating with the rest of the SAC committees, filling committee vacancies, and singing for things as necessary.
2. Vice President: cover for the President when they’re not available. Schedule the library room for the monthly SAC Meetings.
3. Secretary: Responsible for the SAC Club email, responding to general inquiries, taking notes at the SAC Meeting, sending out info and updates to the club. Writing the monthly Newsletter traditionally falls to the Secretary, however, if an additional person would like to only write the newsletter, that is a welcomed option.
4. Treasurer: keeps track of the club finances, club insurance, filing of non-profit status, and collects membership dues.
Here is a link to the club's website outlining the roles in more detail.
