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
