Which of the following is a responsibility of the secretary?

• A. Takes notes of meetings, counts ballots and ensures fair elections. Sends emails and tracks attendance as well as disciplinary measures. Sends weekly updates.
• B. Oversees fundraisers and collect dues
• C. Plan founders day
• D. Coordinate pledging activities

Answer: (A)

The secretary is the chapter’s record-keeper and communicator. This role centers on documenting what happens in meetings, handling official correspondence, and keeping members informed. Taking notes of meetings creates a reliable record of decisions and actions. Counting ballots and ensuring fair elections is part of maintaining transparent governance and accurate results. Sending emails and tracking attendance keeps members connected and accountable, while weekly updates ensure everyone stays informed about ongoing activities and status. The other tasks shown fit responsibilities to other officers—fundraising and dues belong with the treasurer, planning founders day and coordinating pledging align with event or recruitment roles—so the secretary’s duties best match the activities described.
