Roles & Responsibilities

GENERAL SUMMARY OF RESPONSIBILITIES

The Secretariat position of a non-profit organization plays a critical role in fostering communication and diligence through proper management and utilization of important records such as meeting minutes and the organization's bylaws.

The Secretariat position has wide-ranging responsibilities, requiring much more than simply being present at all board meetings. He or she is an active conduit for communication by giving proper notice of any meetings and timely distribution of materials such as agendas and meeting minutes.

Additionally, the Secretariat should be knowledgeable of the organization's records and related materials, providing advice and resources to the board on topics such as governance issues, amendments to the state laws, and the like, that will assist them in fulfilling their fiduciary duties.

As the custodian of the organization's records, the Secretariat is responsible for maintaining accurate documentation and meeting any legal requirements such as annual filing deadlines. The Secretariat is responsible for reviewing and updating documents as necessary and ensuring all documents are safely stored and readily accessible.

A Secretariat will be most useful to an organization when his or her role is catered to meet the unique structure and needs of the organization, rather than filling a "one-fits-all" job description. Duties may additionally change from time to time as may be assigned to him or her by the board.

General Responsibilities

Organizations are required bylaws and by custom to maintain certain records for several purposes, including:

  • accurate recollection of decisions;
  • determination of eligibility to vote;
  • continuity of policies and practices; and
  • accountability of Committee members and officers.

The Secretariat is responsible for ensuring that accurate and sufficient documentation exists to meet legal requirements, and to enable authorized persons to determine when, how, and by whom the board's business was conducted. In order to fulfil these responsibilities, and subject to the organization's bylaws, the Secretariat records minutes of meetings, ensures their accuracy, and availability, proposes policies and practices, submits various reports to the board, maintains membership records, fulfils any other requirements of a office bearer and Officer, and performs other duties as the need arises and/or as defined in the bylaws.

Accountability

Specific Duties
