The day-to-day operations of the association are overseen by five officers. The President, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Development, Secretary, and Treasurer are voted into office by a general election and serve a one year term. Each one of these positions is responsible for a variety of tasks.
The Officers appoint Committee Chairs who are responsible for detailed planning and execution of BLADE events and projects. Chairs with significant responsibility may appoint Sub-Committee Managers. All Officers, Chairs, and Managers are members of the BLADE Cabinet.
A BLADE Officer cannot be a concurrent Director. The President is the only Officer who also has the ability to vote in the Board of Director meetings.
