Secretary

Effective communication is a key ingredient in any organization. The secretary is primarily responsible for written communication - correspondence, records, and minutes showing decisions, plans, and publicity - and for ensuring that everyone has the right information. An adult member of the crew committee may be assigned to assist the vice president of communications, and other members can be enlisted to help as well.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Serve as the communications officer and, in that position, manage all communications and publicity for the crew.

  • Maintain crew membership and attendance records in consultation with the vice president of administration.

  • Handle crew correspondence and minutes.

  • Coordinate crew publicity through local media, social media, crew newsletters, and the crew's telephone network.

  • Approach Venturing in a spirit of fun, and seek to reflect this spirit in the publicity and communications of the crew.
