Each Officer and Trustee has specific duties they must adhere to for the proper functioning of the community. The duties are as follows:

President

The boss. The Boss is the President of the association. He or she presides over all meetings for the board and the members and pretends to understand Robert's Rules of Order. They must keep everyone in line and steer the discussions only in the direction they want them to go. This will be his or her personal agenda which they have been dying to get implemented ever since they decided to run for the board. They must also realize they are indispensable to the Association which would collapse if they personally were not there. That is why they try to stay in office until they die. They liaison with the Attorney and tell them who to send threatening letters to.

Treasurer

The treasurer pays bills that the Secretary gives to him or her and tries to figure out how to read an aging report supplied by the bookkeeper. At meetings they give reports on how much was collected and what bills were paid but carefully guard how much is in the bank, how much the board is being reimbursed, and how much they divert from the reserve account for their pet projects.

Trustee

A Trustee without a title tries to hide their mediocrity and the fact that they don't really understand the documents, Corporate Code or parliamentary procedure. They "second" motions at every opportunity the VP doesn't beat them to it. When someone asks, "What does it say in the bylaws?" the Trustee with no title pretends they had them, but left it at home accidentally. They understand it is their job to agree with the
