The President? continued • Stand and use the podium and or gavel with confidence but do not abuse such “power” • Avoid the use of “I” as a president – use phrases like, “the chair” or “your president”
The President? continued • If you feel strongly about sharing your personal opinions on a subject, you must give the chair to the vice president and you cannot resume as president until the issue has been decided • When absent from a meeting, let the club leader and Vice President know in advance so they can arrange to fulfill your duties
Vice Presidents – Where do they fit? • Vice Presidents need to follow all of the rules previously stated about the President in case they have to preside in the absence of the President • Include other officers/members to help you plan the monthly programs • Make sure the President is aware of your programming ideas so he/she is not caught off guard
