Econ Club Bylaws

adopted February 24, 2004

I) We are the Econ Club at Iowa State University.

II) PURPOSE: The Econ Club provides an environment in which individuals interested in economics can further their knowledge and understanding of economics. The club facilitates communication between students, faculty, and persons inside and outside the university.

III) MEMBERSHIP is open to any Iowa State student who attends an Econ Club meeting and provides their name and e-mail address to the Vice-President. An Econ Club member is anyone who is on the e-mail list and has attended more than one Econ Club meeting.

IV) OFFICERS generate club activities, follow university procedures for Student Organizations, keep club members informed, and ensure the Econ Club’s continuation.

There are five officers:

1. President: the duties of the President include (i) registering the club with ISU StuOrg every semester, (ii) organizing, (iii) broadcasting, and (iv) chairing meetings.

2. Vice President: is responsible for recruiting new members and maintaining the member e-mail list.

3. Treasurer: manages the funds in the Econ Club’s ISU StuOrg account.

4. Secretary: records decisions made at meetings, provides copy for the weekly Economics Department student “Newsletter,” and updates the “History of the Econ Club” documents on the club website.

5. Webmaster: updates the official club website

V) VOTING: Most issues are decided by a show of hands at meetings. The election of officers occurs each January, in order to ensure continuity over the summer. A simple majority of the members casting a secret ballot is required to be elected President or Vice-President.
