The chairman bears the main responsibility for the overall performance of the orchestra. He will need to lead the orchestra together with the EXCO with the ultimate aim of improving the orchestra's standard and its members' experience in it. This job will definitely require adequate leadership, management, communication skills and judgement.
Vice-Chairman (Sec 3) 政委
The vice-chairman works closely with the chairman to assist his job and will take charge in his absence. Holds equal rank and authority as the chairman. Will mainly work on improving the spirit of the orchestra to ensure a positive environment in the orchestra through welfare initiatives, activities or even speeches.

Must take care of each and every member within the section and make sure they know about updates from the EXCO and teachers.
