The RoboJackets President is an all-encompassing role that manages, represents, and supervises the organization as a whole. This person is often future seeking with a vision towards what RoboJackets can and should be in the long term.

Ex Officio Duties

The RoboJackets Constitution states that “The President will have general supervision of the affairs of the RoboJackets and will preside at meetings. The President will approve projects for the organization to be involved in, actively seek projects for the organization, and act as a liaison for companies that wish to support the club.”

As this is a very large and substantial organization, it is necessary to split time among various teams and meetings to ensure the President has a read on the pulse of the organization without being overwhelmed. It is also ideal to actively monitor slack in all channels to identify and quickly help resolve or prevent issues as they appear. Slack keywords are helpful for easing the difficulty of monitoring these channels.

Project Manager of the Core Officers and Appointed Positions

The President should ensure that all roles within Core leadership are in a place to succeed and are progressing with their goals for the year.

Within Core Officers, this means ensuring the team is on the same page with a direction for the year, likely through Core Officer proposals and Core Officer Meetings. The Core Officer team should be working together as a team with their group vision rather than leaving everyone to pursue their own potentially conflicting vision. The President should be following the officer team's tasks on ClickUp to ensure that work is being accomplished.

Within Appointed Positions, this largely means meeting or discussing with the position holders and ensuring they have a plan and direction for the full year. From there, general monitoring will occur to ensure that everything is on pace.

Oversee Finances

The President is responsible for overseeing the organization's finances along with the Treasurer and should work to ensure we are financially stable and supported.

Additional Duties as Necessary

The President is largely a catch-all role. Many things will come up throughout the year, and it is the President's job to understand and work to resolve each situation that may appear. The President should always be available and on-call for the organization. These duties have a wide range of scope, so the President should be ready to employ different resources and communicate with the right people to solve whatever comes up.
