Des Moines Cycle Club Leadership Structure and Duties of Board Members

The Des Moines Cycle Club's (“the Club”) leadership structure, set out in its bylaws, is largely a matter of custom, preference, and practicality. The critical leadership positions are the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Director. The Club's officers and various event and committee chairs usually comprise the Board of Directors, which establishes policy and provides overall direction for all Club activities. The Executive Committee often performs a long-­‐range planning role and acts for the Board of Directors or the entire club between meetings.

In general, the President and Vice President of the Club work with the Board of Directors to determine plans and policies. Listed below are the DMCC Board positions and their specific duties. The Board of Directors should actively participate in all Club affairs and meets as a Board of Directors monthly.
