If your chapter uses a Sergeant-at-Arms, what are their duties at WAHOSA SLC meetings?

• A. Preside over meetings
• B. Help maintain order, assist with seating/attendance, and ensure smooth transitions during meetings.
• C. Manage finances
• D. Document history

Answer: (B)

The Sergeant-at-Arms is there to keep the meeting orderly and run it smoothly. Their main duties are maintaining decorum, helping with seating and attendance, and guiding transitions from one agenda item to the next so the meeting flows without interruptions. They may also escort guests and assist the chair with any logistical needs during the meeting. Presiding over meetings is the job of the chapter president or the designated chair, while finances are handled by the treasurer and recording the chapter’s history is done by the historian or secretary. So, the duties described align with the Sergeant-at-Arms role.
