How many Executive Council officers can there be for the Post-Secondary (college) level, and which roles are included?

• A. Four: President, Secretary/Treasurer, and Parliamentarian
• B. Three: President, Secretary, and Parliamentarian
• C. Five: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Parliamentarian
• D. Four: President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, Parliamentarian

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how the Post-Secondary BPA Executive Council is typically organized in terms of officer roles. In college-level chapters, the leadership roster centers on a President to guide the group, a Secretary/Treasurer to handle the records and finances, and a Parliamentarian to ensure meetings follow proper rules. The presence of a combined title—Secretary/Treasurer—reflects how some rosters consolidate the two financial duties into a single official role, while the council itself still covers the essential functions of leadership, finances, and governance. That’s why the option listing four officers with those roles lines up with the common college-level structure: it accounts for the key leadership, financial oversight, and procedural guidance the Executive Council needs, even if the combined title makes the roster read as three named roles. The other choices introduce a Vice President or extra roles that aren’t part of the post-secondary lineup, or imply a different count, so they don’t fit the standard arrangement.
