Which of the following is a duty of the Vice President?

• A. Assume all duties of the president, if necessary
• B. Prepare and post the agenda for each meeting
• C. Maintain member attendance and activity records
• D. Represent the chapter publicly

Answer: (A)

The main idea is leadership succession and backup authority. The vice president’s primary duty is to act for the president when needed, ensuring the group continues to function smoothly. In practice, this means the vice president may assume all duties of the president if necessary—stepping in when the president is absent, unable to perform, or if the office is vacant. This continuity is why that option best fits the role.

The other tasks are typically assigned to other officers: preparing and posting the meeting agenda is usually a secretary’s job; keeping attendance and activity records is also a secretary or membership-related task; representing the chapter publicly is generally the responsibility of the president or a designated public relations officer.
