Procedures for the Office of President
Adopted 8/8/2004
Revised 4/3/2011
Revised 2/15/2026
The president presides over the chapter and chairs meetings of the
board of directors and the meetings of the full membership at the spring and
fall chapter meetings.
A separate set of procedures has been developed for business meetings and elections. It is the responsibility of the president to set a time and date for the board meetings, to solicit reports and agenda items from officers and committee chairs in advance, and to distribute the final agenda, including reports on the consent agendas, to board members at least three days in advance of the board meeting.
For the business meeting at the semi-annual chapter meetings, the
president should make copies of the agenda, including the consent agenda, and
distribute it to everyone in attendance at the meeting.
The president should be familiar with the functions regarding chapter management on the SABR web site, going to Groups, and selecting the Halsey Hall Chapter.
After the chapter elections each spring, the current (outgoing) president should make sure that the new roles are listed for the incoming officers and directors by contacting the SABR office and indicating the changes that need to be made. The outgoing president should also make sure that a board meeting is scheduled in time to have the incoming board members appoint standing committee chairs; a newsletter editor, webmaster and assistant webmaster, and social media directors; and, every third year, a treasurer.
