What role does the Vice President take on during meetings?

The Vice President's primary role during meetings is to preside in the absence of the President. This function is crucial because it ensures that the meeting can continue to run smoothly and effectively, even when the President is unable to attend. The Vice President must be prepared to lead the meeting, manage the agenda, facilitate discussions, and maintain order among members. This responsibility demonstrates the Vice President's support for the organization's leadership and highlights their capability to step into the President’s role when necessary.

Other roles such as coordinating event planning or developing the meeting agenda may involve various officers or committees, but they do not specifically pertain to the Vice President’s primary duties during meetings. The Secretary typically handles documentation and the recording of minutes, not presiding over the meeting. Therefore, the focus on the Vice President’s role as presiding in the President’s absence is central to their responsibilities.
