Officers

The Board of Directors decide policy through a formal show of hands and exercise oversight of the Officer positions (see Head Ass-Kickers Below). Any executive decision can be overridden by a majority vote of the board members at the next board meeting. The Board may also create and abolish staff positions; help, organize and participate in fundraising activities; and represent the policy of Ad Club to the community, to ensure it maintains its kick-ass standards.

President

Beth Hernandez of Balfour Beatty Construction

The President is the CEO of the Club—the Head Cheese! Like all elected officials (well, maybe not all), the president keeps the peace and provides leadership and pushes a policy of open and creative thinking. Our Top Dog is also our mouth piece—speaking for the Club in critical circumstances.
