<p>I’m planning on running for secretary of a club I recently joined but really enjoy being a part in. I have to write an essay about what I hope to accomplish as the secretary, but I don’t really know what their job is or how they contribute to the group.</p>
<p>I guess you would record stuff, like attendance of members, what went on in the meeting, etc.</p>
<p>Generally the secretary has permanent records of everything. Like the above person said, attendance, and what went on in the meeting. Some big clubs require you to have a formal outline of what went on at the meetings and stuff (like Key Club, I know) if they want awards or whatever.</p>
<p>For me, as I am secretary of 2 clubs, I have to record every member and their information from applications (such as student ID, e-mail, phone number, grade), and since one of my clubs require community service hours, I record that as well.
For my other club that doesn’t, I just basically record everything but community service hours and turned in permission slips because our club has field trips & conferences.</p>
<p>keep everything very organized</p>
