Which officer is responsible for instructing new members on the SDC Constitution and answering questions about it when necessary?

• A. Parliamentarian
• B. Scribe
• C. Treasurer
• D. Vice President

Answer: (A)

The person responsible for teaching new members about the rules and answering questions about the organization’s governing document is the Parliamentarian. This officer is the rules expert, guiding members on how the SDC Constitution governs meetings, motions, and roles. When newcomers need clarity on what the constitution allows or requires, the Parliamentarian provides explanations and ensures things are done in accordance with those rules.

The other officers have different primary duties: the Scribe handles minutes and records, the Treasurer manages finances, and the Vice President assists the president and may stand in during absences. Their roles don’t center on interpreting or instructing about the Constitution, which is why the Parliamentarian is the best choice for onboarding on constitutional matters.
