The duties of the Boards of Directors in all Altrusa clubs are very specific and are outlined in the Encyclopedia. They are:

 

• Determine club Policies in line with Local, District, and International Bylaws.

• Transact all club business otherwise assigned.

• Act upon all recommendations for membership.

• Supervise club activities.

• Fill vacant Offices between elections.

• Grant leaves of absence.

• Determine causes for, and initiate plans to correct, excessive member loss, and low attendance.

• Designate a place to deposit club funds.

• Approve expenditures of funds.

• Provide for the bonding of the treasurer(s) at club expense.

• Provide for annual audit of club books including Club Foundation if applicable.

• Advise club members of Board actions through the club newsletter and club meetings.

• For good cause, declare any Office vacant.
