President This chapter covers various useful notes for the CSC president, ranging from who to call for room bookings to when the term should end. I'll rant some more later. What to do The President is the person responsible. As ungrammatical as that may seem, it is exactly accurate. He or she is responsible to make certain that everything the CSC is involved in gets proper attention. Specifically, the President's duties are: to call and preside at all general, special, and executive meetings of the Club; to appoint all committees of the Club and the committee chair of such committees, except the chair of the Programme Committee; to audit, or to appoint a representative to audit, the financial records of the club at the end of each academic term. Wherever possible, the President should delegate tasks to others. Not doing this can overburden the President. Explanation As listed above the president is responsible for appointing committee chair's and other positions. So, it is basically up to the president to decide whether or not there is an explicit office staff. How do people become office staff? Must the office close every day? What do the members expect to get out of the club in this term? MathSoc The CSC is a MathSoc club as such you should know the MathSoc club policies and know that the president is a non-voting member of MathSoc council, like MathSoc directors. Planning events Planning events is a useful thing to know, so go read the Vice-President's section. Useful contacts It's a good thing to know who controls the keys to the office and the money going to the club. Mathsoc does most of this stuff, so besure to know the President and Treasurer of Mathsoc. They can be emailed at prez@mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca and tres@mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca
