Overview

Lead the organization and run ACM general events. Communicate with the department, university faculty, and corporate sponsors. Frequently work with PR to get new sponsors and maintain relations with partners. Meet with the VP as necessary before weekly officer meetings (set time aside each week just in case) to prepare for meetings/get oriented. Work with the VP to onboard and mentor junior officers each semester. Ensure all teams (media, pr, projects, hackathons, intro to tech, etc) have consistent meetings and make sure all teams are on track with completing tasks. Create initiatives and assign officers and junior officers to them as necessary. A large part of the role is doing random tasks that come up and making sure things dont fall through the cracks.
