The Chaplain is the spiritual advisor to the brother knights and
families of the council. He has no specific duties with regards to running
the council. From
time to time, he makes a report at council
meetings and gives a brief talk on any religious
matters.

The Deputy Grand Knight is second in command in the
council. He

The Financial Secretary is appointed by the Supreme Knight upon recommendation
of the council. His main area of responsibilities is
maintaining all financial and membership records, much
like a comptroller of a private company. He collects and
receives all monies from all sources, including annual
dues from council members. He also handles supply orders
for the council officers and members, filing the Report
of Officers, and submitting all membership transactions
to the Supreme Council. |

records of all council funds and accounts. He is

accounts and provides a certificate of such monies to
the grand knight. He is also responsible for the payment
of all expenses. |
| Position Vacant | The Lecturer is appointed
by the Grand Knight to provide both educational and
entertaining programs to the council. He is responsible for
the 'Good of the Order' portion of council meetings. In
order to provide members with informative and educational
programs, he must be knowledgeable and aware of all council
programming. |

The Advocate is the legal representative of the
council and serves as the council's attorney at trials
and investigations of any interest to the council. While
he does not need to be a member of the legal profession,
he should be familiar with the council by-laws, the
Order's Charter, Constitution and Laws, Methods of
Conducting a Council Meeting, and Robert's Rules of
Order. |

material control manager for council property and degree
paraphernalia, except the property of the financial
secretary, treasurer, and recorder. He is also responsible
for setting up the council chambers for meetings and
ceremonial work. During ceremonial exemplifications, the
warden will appoint and supervise guards. |

Paul Campano | The Inside/Outside Guards have similar responsibilities. They tend to the door
admitting visitors and members to the inner door. They help

The Board of Trustees consists of three members elected by the council and the
grand knight, who serves as chairman of the board. They
oversee the work of the financial secretary and treasurer,
and with the deputy grand knight serve on the council's
retention committee. During council elections, only the
third year trustee is voted on, with the others moving on to
become two-year and one-year trustees, respectively. |
