CHAIR ELECT
The Chair Elect shall actively assist the Chair. He/she shall preside at 
Board or Chapter meetings in the absence of the Chair. He/she shall 
automatically succeed to the office of Chair upon completion of his/her 
term as Chair Elect, or upon the death or resignation of the Chair.  The

Liaison. As the Program Chair, the Chair Elect is responsible for 
overseeing the Program Committee in planning for evening dinner meetings 
during the year.
It is recommended that the Chair Elect organize at least one regional 
meeting during the year. The Chair Elect should also work closely with the 
Student Chapter Coordinator to build support and recruit new members from 
the student chapters.

TREASURER
The Treasurer has the responsibility for maintaining all records pertaining 
to the finances of the chapter and reporting the status of the chapter's 
finances regularly to the local board and quarterly to ASIST Headquarters.

SECRETARY
The Secretary records the minutes of the board meetings and distributes 
copies to all officers and members of the Board. The Secretary also 
prepares correspondence as directed by the Chapter Chair. The Secretary 
keeps the Board members informed on decisions of the Board via the minutes. 
The minutes are a primary source of information for members who could not 
attend the Board meetings. The Secretary should expect to attend every 
Board meeting.  A copy of the Board minutes is sent by the Secretary to the 
Manager of Program Services at Headquarters.
