Who typically appoints Sub Deb Club committee chairs?

• A. The appointment is handled by the staff.
• B. Typically appointed by the president or elected by committee members per bylaws.
• C. Chairs are elected by external consultants.
• D. Chairs are determined by random draw.

Answer: (B)

Leadership of a subcommittee is determined by the club’s governance rules. Typically, the president will appoint chairs or the committee members will elect them, as laid out in the bylaws. This arrangement ensures that those leading a committee have both legitimacy and accountability to the group, and that the process aligns with how the club is meant to operate. Staff aren’t usually involved in selecting internal leaders, external consultants don’t have authority to appoint, and a random draw wouldn’t reliably ensure people with the right skills and commitment are chosen. So the common pattern is either appointment by the president or election by the committee according to the bylaws.
