Other than the vice president of membership development whose role is to act as a manager and oversee the execution of the TPE, and the chapter events/speakers coordinator whose role is to facilitate chapter-wide education through guest speakers or promoting on-campus educational events, each educator in the member development cabinet’s roles are similar except for the progression phase they are responsible for and the content that they deliver. Below is a general idea of what an educator is and what he does in his role.
