DUTIES OF ELECTED OFFICERS OF THE BVCWRT

The Executive Board thought it might be a good time to outline the duties of each of our Officers as we continue our attempt to explain to our membership what is involved when volunteering for these positions on the Executive Board. The explanations below are taken from the Constitution of the Brandywine Valley Civil War Round Table with modifications to some of the offices to bring them in line with what duties are currently being handled. Other duties or responsibilities may evolve from time to time such as, the VP running the monthly book raffle, but these are not necessarily in the job descriptions, more a matter of choice by that person.

There you have it - the key to our success as a Round Table. By dividing the responsibilities into various committees and with a little mutual support we have managed to produce one of the largest and most successful Civil War organizations in the area. However without the support of our active and enthusiastic membership everything would be more difficult and certainly not as much fun.
