Student Leadership

Pay attention to our event calendar for the annual election meeting.

A list of current officers has been provided below for reference.

Officer Responsibilities
Each officer has a set of pre-defined responsibilities that have evolved over many years to suit the needs of our chapter. The list of officer responsibilities below attempts to highlight those responsibilities. Typically, officers will also take on additional responsibilities as special situations arise during the course of the year.
President
The President is responsible for overseeing the general operation of the chapter. He or she runs officer meetings and ensures that all of the other officers are certain of their responsibilities. When necessary, he or she can delegate additional responsibilities as new situations arise. The president also pays an active role in recruiting speakers for technical talks and communicating with the ECE Department through the Director of Student and Alumni Relations.
Vice President
The Vice President is mainly responsible for event advertisement, which includes making posters and posting them. Along with the other officers, he or she also helps to recruit members as well as speakers for technical talks. Finally, the Vice President is expected to provide assistance in setup, execution, and cleanup for each chapter event.
Treasurer
The Treasurer is responsible for managing the IEEE bank account. Along with the Chapter President, he or she has full signing privileges for this account. The treasurer is personally responsible for storing checks and other supplies and maintaining historical account information.
Secretary
The chapter Secretary is responsible for managing the chapter's member list and keeping minutes for all officer meetings. Following each officer meeting, the secretary distributes these minutes to all officer via email--highlighting action items assigned to a particular officer. The Secretary also ensures that the member list are kept up-to-date by inspecting sign-in sheets after each meeting. Finally, the secretary uses the member list to maintain an email list and sends important announcements to this list.
Social Chair
The Social Chair is responsible for organizing all social events sponsored by our chapter. These events fall outside of routine meetings and include ice cream socials, barbecues, and other fun events for ECE students. The social chair can collect ideas and feedback from other officers but is largely responsible for suggesting new events and keeping members informed of related events on campus.
Service Chair
The Service Chair is responsible for organizing all service events sponsored by our chapter. These events include Engineering Week activities and educating high school students about engineering. The service chair is a new position and will have more events in the future.
