The President serves as chief executive officer, is responsible for general operation of the club, presides at club meetings and directs educational growth and leadership needs of the members. In cooperation with the executive team, establishes a plan for club health and growth.
The Vice President Education plans club meetings so that members achieve their personal goals, schedules speeches, signs manuals, updates progress charts, reports to Toastmasters International, and coordinates recognition.

The Vice President Public Relations implements a program to maintain a positive image of the club, promotes the club in the media, produces a club newsletter and promotes membership programs.
The Secretary is responsible for all club records and correspondence, is custodian of the Club Constitution and Bylaws and all other official club documents.
The Treasurer is responsible for management of the clubs' finances. Collects and sends dues to World Headquarters on time, pays obligations, and develops and recommends a budget to the executive committee.
