Lower Rio Grande Valley Power Squadron

2008/2009 LRGV PS Bridge & Committees

LRGV PS is managed by a “Bridge” of officers elected by and responsible to the membership. They are assisted in their duties by an Executive Committee elected from our membership, and by Committee Chairmen and members who carry out the programs, functions and activities of the Squadron. The Bridge consists of a Commander, Executive Officer, Educational Officer, Administrative Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Some positions may include an assistant. They are elected for a one year term at the Annual Meeting and installed at the Change of Watch.
