The TSPS Bridge acts as a “board of directors” and advises the Commander on most aspects of Squadron activities.
It usually consists of the bridge officers (Commander, Executive Officer, Educational Officer, Administrative Officer, Secretary, Treasurer) and at least 3 or more members at large. All persons on this committee must be elected by the membership. The Squadron Bylaws should define powers and who should be on this committee.
Some of the functions of this committee are, but are not limited to:
- General charge of policy
- Management and finances of the Squadron
- Custody of all property of the Squadron
- First approval of all bills
- Recommends dues of the membership
- Approval of invitation to membership
- Approve nominations as Associate and Honorary memberships and transfers
- Approve the appointments of the Commander
- Approve any bylaw changes before being presented to the membership
- Be aware of and approve the time and place of education courses
- Fill any vacancy in an elective office in the Squadron until a successor has been duly elected
- Investigate any complaint that may require disciplinary action (Article XIII, USPS bylaws)
