 The President presides over all meetings and business transactions. In many cases he is the spokesman for the club, and may be the one to meet the public should the need arise. The President will break all tie votes and is automatically on all committees in an advisory capacity. The President is your leader and the “cheerleader” for creating enthusiasm and participation.
