The President prepares the agenda and ensures the meetings are run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The President also communicates to the Salford Hills administration any issues or concerns that parents bring to his/her attention.

Vice President- time commitment of approximately 5-10 hours per month
Position responsibilities: The Vice President oversees committees (assisting when/where needed) and assists the President with their responsibilities. The time commitment is roughly 5-10 hours a month including executive board and general assembly meetings. Work can be done both at home and at school. The Vice President may be called upon at any time to temporarily assume the duties of President. A strong Vice President can and should be the President’s “right hand,” acting as an aide and assuming assigned responsibilities. The Vice President represents the President upon request. In the event of the President’s resignation, the Vice President assumes the President’s duties until the position is filled in accordance with the bylaws.
