SKD Officer Positions

From our Chapter Bylaws, “Section 6. Officer Positions”

President

The president presides at meetings, initiates activities, appoints committees, lends continuity to the chapter, and sees that jobs are distributed among as many members as possible.

Vice President

The vice president presides in the absence of the president. The vice president confers with the president and the sponsor often and should be kept informed and involved in the activities.

Secretary

The secretary keeps the minutes of the meetings, both of business transacted and of programs and activities. Another duty of this officer is to work with sponsors on all correspondence. The secretary keeps attendance records of those members who attend the meetings if the chapter has an attendance requirement and sends out announcements of meetings.

Treasurer

The treasurer, in close consultation with sponsors, handles all money matters relating to the chapter. Although the sponsor(s) collects and sends national initiation fees to the Central Office, the treasurer may help collect local dues. The treasurer should also take a role in any fundraising projects.

Historian

The historian keeps a permanent record of the chapter’s activities, including clippings, rosters, programs, correspondence, etc.”

Service Coordinator

The service coordinator seeks out and arranges service opportunities on and off-campus. This person makes and/or receives communication with/from various local entities. Our service efforts can include any type of service that our members wish to participate in, and it does not have to be related to English in any way, as we recognize that SKD proudly has students of all majors. We do hope to have at least one literature- or literacy-based event once each semester, however, to be true to our English discipline origins.

Communications and Social Media Coordinator:

The communications coordinator is responsible for managing all SKD communications within the organization and with outside entities on campus and/or in our community. It helps to develop and preserve our public image in the various Tarrant County communities. Tasks can include creating posters, fliers, invitations, and managing social media like Remind 101, an organizational website, Twitter, chapter email, and any other programs not already mentioned.
