Asked to be Alumnae Chapter President

[FSUZeta]

the president has one report which is due by april 1st of each year. your district president will remind you that the report is due. you can do the entire report yourself, or your fellow officers can do the parts that pertain to them. it takes maybe 10 minutes to do.

your duties depend on the structure of your meetings. if your chapter prefers "business" type meetings, then you will preside over the meetings, and probably coordinate an agenda for the meeting. you do know that an alumnae chapter only has to have 5 official meetings to maintain their alumnae chapter status, don't you?

you would also preside and probably coordinate any meetings with your fellow officers. you might hold "ec" meetings once or twice a year.

the lines between officers are not as clearly defined in our alumnae world as they are in our collegiate chapters. while the v.p might be in charge of mailings, if she can't make it to the post office one month, you might have to fill in for her. she might have to preside over a meeting if you can't be there.

most often officers serve for a year, but chapters have the liberty to draft their own constitutions and officers might be listed as serving a different length of time.

you had said that you were going to be a collegiate advisor for the first time-think about how much free time you will have between family obligations, your advisorship and this potential alumnae position. i don't want to see you burn out.

any more questions, feel free to pm me.
