General Duties of the Officers
President
The president is the highest-ranking officer and has general supervision over the lodge. He or she serves as the ‘team leader’ who appoints committees, presides over meetings, encourages the activities of fellow lodge officers and helps to plan lodge programming.
Vice President
The vice president serves as the driving force behind membership recruitment and retention strategies, usually serving as chair of the membership committee. He or she should also be prepared to replace the president if the need arises.
Secretary
The secretary’s primary function is to keep accurate and impartial records of all meetings of the lodge and of the board of directors. He or she also serves as the primary communicator between the lodge and its members.
Financial Secretary and Membership Secretary
Each lodge gets to choose whether they wish to have a financial secretary or a membership secretary. Both of these officers collect new membership applications, process requests to transfer membership and inform Sons of Norway Headquarters of membership cancellations and deaths. The financial or membership secretary is the primary communicator between the lodge and Sons of Norway Headquarters. In addition to the duties described above, the financial secretary also collects monies from lodge members and presents them to the treasurer as well as assisting the treasurer in the filing of financial reports. The membership secretary does not have these financial duties but focuses on the administration of membership as described in the first paragraph. In a lodge that has chosen the membership secretary structure, all financial duties are relegated to the lodge treasurer.
Treasurer
The responsibilities of the lodge treasurer include handling all ingoing and outgoing funds, keeping accurate accounting records and preparing fiscal reports. He or she should also be present when the financial books are audited.
Social Director
The social director plans and supervises the social activities of the lodge. He or she works closely with any other officers who have a programming focus, such as the cultural director, sports and recreation director and youth director.
