To guide the teams club policy and interact with the college administration, the crew team maintains an executive board that is elected annually by popular vote. All team members that pay dues are eligiable to vote. Each officer within the executive board largely defines how their year in office will affect the team, but they are ultimately governed by the team constitution and the list of designated responsibilities.
