Vice President of Administration

Two key responsibilities characterize the position of vice president of administration: leading the recruiting efforts for new crew members and managing member recognition.

First, this position provides leadership for recruiting new members into the crew by ensuring that prospective members are made aware of the crew and are invited to the crew's open house, and by encouraging members to bring friends to crew meetings. This position also follows up with any members who seem to be losing interest and helps them re-engage with the crew.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Assume the responsibilities of the crew president in his or her absence.

  • Lead the recruiting and admission of new members during the year.
