The President is in charge of arranging group meetings, organizing the structure of meetings, and conducts a semester report to NJCU. 

The Vice President will monitor funds of the portfolio and will take on the roles of the President in his/her absence. 

The Chief Investment Officer would oversee the portfolio’s investments, keep track of any market news for the week and share during the weekly meetings any news they consider are important that could influence the portfolio. 

Lastly, in each sector, there is a leadership role called the Sector Strategist, which combines all of the ideas in the sector's group members and formulates a stock analysis and stock pick.]]> 2021-10-17 00:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/egirgis1/9ix33z5zd4ubdw9x/wish/1821522113
