About TTOD Officers

Contact Info

This page presents a brief synopsis of each officer's purpose in life, at least within the realm of the Tall Texans! These people volunteer tremendous amounts of their time and energy, without pay, to provide great social experiences for the members of the club. Give them a kind word and some help whenever you can, they appreciate it!

President:

The club president wins the right to maintain order at the business meeting, help facilitate club activities, receive club mail, appoint, and delegate. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
 

Vice President:

There aren't many specific responsibilities tied to vice president other than assisting the president in club affairs. But... if any officer leaves his or her post for some reason, the vice president has the responsibility to assume their duties until a replacement is found. If you're the vice president and you quit, well, you have to fill in for yourself.
 

Secretary:

The main role of the club secretary is to take the minutes of the business and officers meetings.
 

Treasurer:

Accounting, paying bills, reporting at the business meeting, and enlisting help to make sure the club earns at least as much as it spends. In addition, the treasurer gets to make sure we all pay our dues once a year.
 

Publicity Chair:

This is the club PR person. They provide press releases for special events, coordinate media appearances by club representatives, and keep us in the news. They find advertisers for the newsletter and opportunities to make us known in the community.
 

Social Chair:

This position is responsible for setting up and publicizing the wide world of TTOD events. This year the chair has two assistants  to make sure it is an active and fun year. The social chairperson is responsible for organizing the entire club calendar (which has oodles of events each month), finding places to hold events, finding hosts for the events, and telling people how to get there.
 

Membership Chair:

The membership chairperson makes the first contact with prospective members who call the club hotline (972-622-TALL) or ask for information on the Website. This person sends out complimentary newsletters, provides club information, helps with membership requirements, and generally rolls out the first welcome mat.
 

Editor:

The role of editor is to design and produce the club newsletter, The Long Line. The newsletter is published monthly to all club members and subscribers (prospective members also get a few). TCI and other Tall Clubs around the country are also on the mailing list for the newsletter. The newsletter contains reports by the various officers, club news, the monthly events calendar, maps to events, and various other words of wisdom from those in-the-know.
 

Telephone Chair:

This person has the responsibility of calling everybody in the club whenever we need to get the word out about a big event. They also go to work when something changes on the calendar, or sometimes just to say, "hi" and, "when are you coming to another event?"
 

Appointed Positions

These positions are appointed by the President.

Webmaster:

This esteemed position was created by Van Sederburg, when he established one of the first club Websites in TCI. Due to the unique requirements of guts, knowledge, and media expertise, it is unlikely that this will ever be an elected office.
 

S.W.A.T. Club Representative:

The SWAT Rep. is typically a member who attends many of the functions held by other Tall Clubs in the southwestern United States (primarily Texas and Oklahoma) and can represent the opinion of the Tall Texans at meetings. SWAT stands for Southwest Area Tall clubs.
