Discussion… Secretary
Administrative Officer Rank: Lieutenant Commander 14.20.1 If an Administrative Officer is elected or appointed, the position could parallel that of the National and District Administrative Officers. In general, at the Squadron level, this Officer might be assigned the handling of the internal affairs of the Squadron. 14.20.2 Since the Administrative Officer could progress to the office of Executive Officer, and then to Commander, great care should be taken by the Nominating Committee in the qualifications and selection of a nominee for this office, or by the Commander in making this appointment. 14.20.3 As in the case of the Executive Officer, it is desirable to assign definite duties and responsibilities to the Administrative Officer, to provide him with the background and experience that will make a good Executive Officer and Commander. Best to keep options open and not make expectations etched in stone Secretary
