Being an officer is a privilege, not a right. The director has the right to remove any officerfrom their position because of poor behavior, abuse of power, lack of motivation, etc.
If selected, officers are required to attend an officer training/planning meeting. At this meeting, we will plan social events, and discuss the plans for the year.
