A question about your associations board of directors responsibilities.

[lawump]

Our association (high school) is fairly large (at least for our state) as we provide umpires for 27 high schools, american legion, USSAA summer tournaments and other "stuff".

Anyways, we have a President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. Our secretary is both our corporate secretary (handles the money) and our booking secretary. We also have 4 "at-large" board members. So, our board has 8 members (4 officers and 4 "at-large" board members). Our board is THE authority for our association.

Our secretary is the primary contact person for coaches. He'll deal with coaches' complaints. However, he always keeps me (the President) informed. If there is a major issue, I'll bring it to the attention of the entire board, or I'll talk to the coach/AD directly.

Now, as President, I communicate with the High School League office. I also will send out all "offiical" communications from the association to the schools and other organizations. For instance, I signed my name to a letter this past winter informing the schools that our rates were going up in 2008. I also fielded calls complaining about this fact.

Finally, I will say that our organization is incorporated, so we make sure to follow corporate formalities as those are defined by South Carolina state law.
