The role of vice president is in many ways a support role and the details of this are uniquely cued to the dynamic of each president and VP. A lot of the responsibilities of a VP are shared with the president, designed to ease the pressure and preserve the sanity (and the ability to have a life outside of PS:1) of the president. But I think one of the lovely things about the Board of Directors as a whole is the element of fluidity; past the bare-bone outline of the bylaws, you come to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and preferences of fellow board members so I think there is an element of nuance that changes with each new board, ideally, as you communicate with each other to make sure everything is getting done. | The role of vice president is in many ways a support role and the details of this are uniquely cued to the dynamic of each president and VP.
