MEETING DETAILS
It’s election time again! The position of Secretary holds shared responsibilities as a district officer and a commitment to the national district and its members.

     • Record any written actions, including email actions, taken in between meetings.
     • Save and catalog meeting minutes and actions for future review as necessary. 
     • Assist President with logistics of in-person meetings as well as technical assistance, as necessary, with virtual meetings.
