# Role of the Vice President

According to Section 52 in TMAC’s Bylaws:

> The vice-president shall, in the absence or disability of the president, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the president and shall perform such other duties as shall from time to time be imposed upon him/her by the Board.

The Vice Chair works with the Chair in ensuring the effective governance of Organization and is prepared and knowledgeable at all times to serve in the absence of the Chair.

The duties of the Vice President are to:

* Chair the Board Meeting, Annual General Meeting, or other meetings in the absence of the Chair
* Serve as a member of the Executive Committee

The responsibilities of the Vice President may be changed from time to time, and flow from Board policies on governance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://governance.tomediaarts.org/board-structure-and-roles/officers-of-the-corporation/role-of-the-vice-president.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
