The roles you may wish to run for are:

You should be someone who is INVOLVED be it sports or other endeavors. You also need to be maintaining a high GPA. You will also give the invocation at the sports banquet.

Vice – President: Your job is to assist your President. Your role isn’t as big, but if the President cannot hold his or her duties, you will become the President. You and the President MUST get along and have the same views for your class. You too should have a high GPA. You will give the benediction at the banquet.

Secretary: You are the “workhorse” for the council. You will take notes at meetings and email your class with any news. You need to be creative as you will design any flyers that need to be circulated. Basically, you take what the President and the officers want and you relay it to your peers. You too should have a high GPA.
