Interested in becoming a BDC officer? Excellent! Without student officers, the BDC could not continue to exist. Please see below for the basic responsibilities of each officer position to get a feel for what you would be most interested in.

Because the BDC is an OSU-sponsored organization, all officers must be students at OSU.

All officers - Attend weekly or semi-weekly meetings (depending on what needs to be done) to discuss and plan for the club, plus come to dances. Various tasks like helping at the sign-in table and helping set up and tear down for weekend dances.

The President - conducts all business with OSU officials, delegates the various responsibilities that don’t fall under any particular position, and keeps track of club responsibilities/plans, etc. This position requires organizational skills and familiarity with the workings of the BDC. The President is always a previous officer. 

Vice President - This is the Main communication point between the BDC and other OSU clubs. The vice president manages inter-club relations and helps make the OSU dance community mesh well (e.g., by preventing time conflicts within dances). Some familiarity with the other OSU dance clubs would help. The Vice President is always a previous officer.

Treasurer - Manages the club’s MU finance account, fills out purchase requests for renting space, and is in charge of the cash box for each paid dance.

Secretary - Keeps notes during officer meetings and is in charge of decorations at weekend dances. Purchasing decoration materials (given a certain budget), leading decoration setup. 

Head (senior) safety officer - Manages all the signed waivers and update the waivers each year. Organize all the other safety officers.

Safety Officers - There are always multiple safety officers at our events. They are in charge of ensuring that people have signed liability waivers and follow the floor rules. 

Public Representatives - The PR office is often divided into three different positions: one for web-based communication, one for posters, and one for web design. The positions are not always separate.

Head (senior) DJ - The head DJ’s job is to organize the DJ schedule for the term, organize Music for paid events, and talk with the club about things related to the music.

DJ - DJ's put together playlists for Wednesday nights and man the DJ booths for their shifts.
