Tri-M Student Officers

Student officers also help the chapter advisor, but each officer has a particular role within the chapter.

The president helps members reach chapter goals and the goals of the honor society by presiding at meetings (hence the name “president”) and by helping conduct the induction ceremony and election of officers for the following school year.

The vice president presides at meetings when the president is absent and assists the president as needed. The vice president can also act as the chairperson for a variety of chapter projects.

The secretary takes care of a lot of the chapter paperwork. The secretary writes letters for the chapter, keeps a record of who attends meetings, and takes meeting minutes.

The treasurer handles the chapter’s money, including payments for membership pins and cards, all money donated to the chapter, and keeps track of receipts. The chapter advisor looks over these records through the year to make sure the accounts are in order.

The historian keeps a record of all programs presented by the chapter, including pictures and newspaper articles.
