The President is the club glue.  S/He has the 35,000 ft view of all the happenings, and makes sure that all work is coordinated.  It is important that the President has great people skills, can act as a mediator, can crack the whip when necessary, and has time to do all the above.  The President also serves, with help from the board, as the club conscience: someone who understands why things are done the way they are, what is changeable, and what must go through a process before being changed.

This job can take as little as a couple hours a week and as much as 8 hours a week or more.  It’s success rests on good coordination and delegation, as well as attention to detail, calmness, and a sense of humor.
