Section 1 /
Duties of
All Officers
Article III starts by listing duties that all NJCL officers have to fulfill .
All officers must :
A . represent the NJCL when at State and local JCL events ;
Whenever an NJCL officer is at a JCL event hosted by a State or local chapter , they ’ re representing the NJCL as a whole and are thus required to act accordingly . The Board of Directors can also set further rules on this matter , such as requiring officers to get mentor permission to attend these events .
B . help plan the NJCL Convention with the State hosting it ;
One of the basic duties of any officer is helping to plan the annual convention in collaboration with the State JCL hosting it . Much of this is done at the Fall Planning Meeting , which takes place at the university where the convention will be hosted .
C . attend meetings of the NJCL , the Executive Board , and the Board of Directors ;
If the NJCL President or National Committee Chairperson calls a meeting of the NJCL , all officers are required to attend . And since the officers are also part of the Executive Board and Board of Directors , they must attend meetings of those groups as well .
D . report their progress to their mentor after each month .
Each NJCL officer has an adult mentor in the National Committee to help them carry out their duties . At the end of each month , each officer must send a progress report to their respective mentor .
