[Fabs] Duties of each position

[Z'Leah Liburd]

Hello all,
I recall you guys wanted to see the duties of each position. With elections
coming up in a few days, here are the duties. As a reminder we will be
voting in Vice-President, Secretary and bord number 1:

The duties of each elected officer are both general and specific. All
officers shall uphold the code of conduct of the National Federation of the
Blind. The specific duties of each officer shall be upheld throughout the
duration of the term they are elected. Each elected office has a term of
two years.

1.         President: It is the duty of the President to convey the needs
and actions of the organization to the state affiliate board, the National
Association of Blind Students, and the public. As the top representative of
the organization, the President has the final decision on any expenses made
by the organization and any public action taken by the division.

2.         Vice President: It is the duty of the Vice President to serve as
the Parliamentarian of the organization, being the keeper of the governing
documents (Constitution, Code of Conduct, or any document pertaining to
division policy). The Vice President is acting President and makes
executive decisions for the organization in place of the President in their
absence.

3.           Treasurer: It is the duty of the treasurer to follow the
budgetary actions of the organization. This includes the reporting of the
deposits, withdrawals, and drafts of the organization’s bank account. All
funds collected by the organization are ultimately given to the Treasurer
for a deposit. All funding requests, once approved by the President, are
executed by the Treasurer.

4.         Secretary: It is the duty of the secretary to record the minutes
of each general membership conference call or meeting. The secretary is
also charged with the acquisition of any necessitated clerical items for
the organization to complete in the event of a trip, event, or registration
priority. The secretary acts as a liaison between the elected officers and
the general membership of the organization, using various messaging
platforms to inform members about meetings, opportunities, or advocacy
efforts taking place.
5.         Board member: The board member shall consist of a single elected
member, Board member 1, who shall serve as the bridge between the four
officers and the membership. Their primary duties consist of chairing
committees, assisting with programs and events put on by the division, and
assisting officers when necessary. Additionally, they shall assume the
responsibility of other officers, at the discretion of the president, when
circumstances require.
