President

The president is the face of Swing Kids at UW. They organize the officers meetings, manage emails, delegate tasks to other officers, serve as the main point of contact for the club (for most things), and to an extent, complete tasks assigned to other officers when they are not able to. They also take care of responsibilities that do not fall under a specific officer.

Events Coordinator This year we had two Events Coordinators. Next year we will be switching to one Events Coordinator and one PR Coordinator

The Events Coordinator creates and manages events for the Swing Kids at UW outside of the regular lessons and quarter dances. How they do this is somewhat up to them. It could mean creating bonding events and activities or running a weekly dance. Running a weekly dance requires a commitment of opening, closing finding a DJ, and collecting dues.
