Yet the role could be so much more. We'll look at the SAA role in the quarterly forum from several different angles, including their role as the chair of the Social and Reception Committee of the club — the organizer of open houses and contest refreshments, and the first welcoming face to guests and new members. Forum key: D53-Forum The Sergeant at Arms forums will meet on: 9/15/2022, 12/15/2022, 3/15/2023, and 6/15/2023 |
16 March 2023(1 event) – The Club Secretary Forum is a quarterly occasion for club secretaries to meet and talk about the challenges and opportunities of their role.

Additionally, their responsibilities for organizing the agenda of Executive Committee meetings and club Business Meetings, and accurately recording the results of those meetings, have power in a court of law. Your role is important to the success of the club! Forum key: D53-Forum The Secretary Forums will take place on 9/13/2022, 12/13/2022, 3/14/2022, and 6/14/2022. |
