• Keep a permanent minute binder and make the minutes and records available to members upon request.
• Maintain official files of correspondence, reports, and other Association documents.
• E-mail minutes from the Executive Board meeting to all Executive Board members within 10 days after the Executive Board meeting has been held (with a copy sent to the Executive Director's Secretary).
• E-mail minutes from the Representative Assembly meeting to all Executive Board members and Building Reps within 10 days after the RA (with a copy sent to the Executive Director's Secretary).
• Be a part of the decision-making Executive Board.
• Carry out his/her duties as specified in the Constitution and Bylaws.

The Secretary will be elected to a two-year term which begins in an odd-numbered year, taking office on June 1.
