BOARD ROLES
GENERAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
PRESIDENT
The President does not have a specific duty. He/she oversees the entire organization’s operations and guides the officer board. The President is the liaison and spokesperson for our Gamma Omega chapter. It is also the President’s job to set strategic goals and plan for the future.
VICE PRESIDENT
The Vice President (VP) builds the semester calendar with speaking engagements, firm tours, and other major events (such as multi-BAP collaborations). He/she is the main contact between the firms and our chapter (this role is extremely important) and is tasked to seek and bring new opportunities for all members.
DIRECTOR OF RECORDS
The Director of Records (DOR) is to report all chapter activities to BAP nationals. He/she will be entering all BAP and pledging members’ hours and our chapter’s activities. The second part of the DOR duty is to manage the candidate class, motivating the pledges as they complete the semester. DORs will also be managing the candidate class board to create candidate events and socials.
DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTING SOCIETY
The Director of Accounting Society (DOAS) plans and directs all major events throughout the semester. He/she will be managing the Special Events Committee to create events: Meet & Greet, Big Buddy Little Buddy, Meet the Firms, Banquet, etc. Additionally, the DOAS is in charge of seeking community service events in which organization members can participate.
DIRECTOR OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The main duty of the Director of Professional Development (DOPD) is to create workshops and professional socials/events to develop our members professionally. He/she is in charge of overseeing our Resume Committee, Mock Interview Program, Mentor Program, and Professional Development Committee to help students grow.
DIRECTOR OF CORRESPONDENCE
The Director of Correspondence (DOC) sends out the weekly emails, maintain and improves the BAP&AS website, and finalizes newsletters. He/she will be in charge of our Public Relations and Marketing Committee, overseeing the creation of our monthly newsletter and our social media accounts. Those who are tech and design savvy are preferred, but not required (as most BAP&AS visuals and publications will go through the DOC).
TREASURER
The Treasurer creates a budget and expense plans for resource distribution throughout the semester and thus must be able to foresee incoming revenues and expenses. It is the duty of the Treasurer to control cash flow for the organization. The Treasurer acts as the debt collector for the organization, so he/she will be working extensively with QuickBooks, sending invoices, A/R collection, membership dues, etc. Most importantly, the Treasurer is responsible for creating the financial statements for the organization.
ASSOCIATE TREASURER
The Associate Treasurer’s (AT) primarily role is to order and bring food to all speaking engagements and events. He/she will also work very closely with the Treasurer to help complete collections for the organization. Because the AT is mentored extensively by the Treasurer, he/she usually will take on the Treasurer role in the next semester (so please consider this if you are graduating or do not want to run for officer for two semesters).
