The vice-president is vested with all the powers which are required to perform the duties of the association president in the absence of the president. The vice president does not automatically possess inherent powers to act in the capacity of the chief executive officer, and may act for the president only when the president is actually absent or otherwise unable to act. The vice-president may assume such additional duties as are defined by the board of directors.

The vice-president of the association is also responsible for keeping and maintaining a record of all meetings of the board and the membership and is the custodian for most of the official records of the association. As the custodian for the minutes and other official records of the association, the vice-president is responsible for insuring access to those records by the members of the association and their authorized representatives.
