CLUB SPORTS GOVERNING BOARD

OFFICER POSITIONS
ELECTIONS TO BE HELD: Monday, April 6th, 8pm, Lou Gehrig Lounge
Dear Club Sports Officers,
Because the Club Sports Program relies on student initiative, organization and financing to make the program
effective, the Club Sports Program is governed by a board of five student officers who are elected annually.
Elections for the 2015-2016 Club Sports Governing Board will be held at the Club Sports Assembly Meeting on
April 6th. Club Sports Governing Board officers attend weekly board meetings to establish and review policy, guide
and oversee management of the program, and ensure the program fulfills the spirit and mission of Columbia
University Club Sports. Following is a description of the two positions that will be in place next year
PRESIDENT: The primary spokesperson for and representative of the Club Sports program. The President shall
chair CSGB meetings and Assembly meetings and bear ultimate responsibility for all decisions of both bodies. The
President shall maintain relations with the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics & Physical Education and other
student groups, including student governments. The President shall promote and execute the Club Sports
Constitution, the Club Sports by-laws, and initiatives of both bodies.
REPRESENTATIVE: Representatives will be elected from each of the four Club Sports Categories, listed below.
Each Representative will serve as a member of the board, casting votes and participating in discussion of all policy,
funding, and punitive issues. In addition, Representatives may take on rotating responsibility as decided internally
by the board for secretarial, accounting, or other affairs. The Representative from each Club Sports Category will
be ultimately responsible for advocating for the best interests of the club in that category, particularly in budgeting
and funding negotiations.
Please share this document with all incoming officers of your club interested in running for the board. Link to the
