Administrative Board Members
The SAU Administrative Board Members playa a crucial role in managing key aspects of the organization. Their responsibilities include overseeing membership details, such as handling applications, renewals, and maintaining accurate membership records. Additionally, the board is tasked with managing the organization’s budget, which involves tracking expenses, approving expenditures, and ensuring overall financial stability. The board also handles social media management to enhance communication and engagement with members. Furthermore, the librarian’s role, which is integrated into the board’s functions, involves managing the organization’s collection of resources. By focusing on these areas, the Administrative Board ensures that membership functions, financial operations, and communication strategies run smoothly and efficiently.
