Our Leaders

The crew president is the primary leader of the crew. They are selected by crew members as the best person to lead and represent them. Being president carries honor and privilege , but it also requires hard work, responsibility, and dedication.

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 be 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 . 

Much of  a crew's success depends on the program of activities, and managing the development of a good program is the core of the position of vice president of program. Venturing is based on planning a program that meets the needs and interests of crew members. 

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, and other crew members can be enlisted to help as well. 

The crew treasurer is responsible for keeping accurate records of the income and expenditures of the crew's funds. The crew expects an exact accounting of all the money taken in or paid out. The treasurer ensures that all expenditures are approved by crew officers and the Advisor before writing any checks. An auditor from the crew committee me be assigned to assist in setting up bookkeeping procedures, bank accounts, and money-handling methods.
