Guest bryan Posted September 17, 2010 at 02:52 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 at 02:52 AM Hello,I am wondering if someone can help me with some information. I am part of a local club/group, newly founded and have volunteered to be the interim vice president. We are going to do our best to follow the Roberts Rules of Order and I am just curious as to what the responsibilities of the vice president are.Thanks in advance for any help you may have for me.

You should look to your organization's rules to determine any responsibilities specific to your organization. Also, there is no such thing as an "interim" vice president unless that's defined under your Bylaws. You're either the VP or you aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sounds so, well, knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
