THE POSITIONS

Chairperson

The Chair is the Guild’s head. They work with the rest of the E-board to create a calendar of meetings and events for the upcoming semester; run all General Body Meetings; reserve space for certain events (like the First GBM, Big Wind Blows, Banquet, and the alternate space for either the play or musical); do public relations and answer questions from the community; mediate between individuals and groups when there are problems; keep all other Executive Board members on task; and generally serve as the overseer of all Guild events throughout the year.

Secretary

The Secretary is a key part of overall Guild administration, but also plans some really cool events outside our shows. The Secretary keeps track of voting rights for every single Guild member; takes meeting minutes and emails them to our Email List (click HERE to sign up for emails!) after General Body meetings; prints chops to pass out during tabling for auditions and tech week; plans Coffeehouse (which includes reserving a venue, ordering catering, scheduling all acts, and decorating); organizes Banquet (which includes creating a schedule for the roasts of our outgoing seniors and orders a Banquet gift to hand out at the end of the evening); creates a year-long scrapbook to pass out at Banquet; and organizes our Scavenger Hunt in the Spring, as well as another bonding activity of their own choosing in the Fall. 

Treasurer

The Treasurer, like the Chair, has been entrusted with Signature Responsibility–meaning the University trusts them to authorize purchases on behalf of the organization using the organization’s funds. The Treasurer monitors the Guild’s accounts; creates budgets for each production, each individual Artistic Team position, and other Guild events like Coffeehouse and Banquet; communicates directly with the Artistic Team about their budgets; fills out SASP requests and Purchase Requests when A-Team members need to make purchases (see our purchasing guidelines for A-Team HERE!); deposits our income from ticket sales into our account; and keeps detailed records of all Guild spending and income.

Play / Musical Producers

The Play and Musical Producers are each the masters of their productions. The Producers play a key role in casting the shows; hiring the Artistic Team; running 20 minutes with the cast each week to help mediate between cast and Rehearsal Team to create a better rehearsal space; mediate between A-Team members, or any individuals within the process who are having trouble; run all Artistic Team meetings and Design Meetings with the Tech Director and Director each week; remind all Cast and A-Team of their specific responsibilities and deadlines throughout the semester; be a focal point for information about the production and facilitate communication between groups who need to share information about their specific duties.
