Which is a duty of the Secretary?

• A. Prepare and post the agenda for each chapter meeting
• B. Preside over meetings
• C. Develop the POA
• D. Maintain member attendance

Answer: (A)

The duty being tested is the Secretary’s role in organizing and communicating meeting plans. A key part of this role is preparing the agenda, which lists the topics to be discussed and the order of business for the meeting. By posting the agenda in advance, members can prepare, contributions stay organized, and the meeting runs smoothly. The Secretary handles official meeting communications and records, including minutes and notices, so having a clear agenda ready to share aligns with those responsibilities. The person who presides over meetings is typically the chair or president, not the Secretary, so that function isn’t the best fit here. Developing a Plan of Action is usually a leadership or planning task, and while attendance records may be kept by the Secretary as part of documentation, the most defining duty described in this item is preparing and posting the agenda.
