Which statement best describes the duties of the Worthy Matron?

• A. Keeps minutes and handles correspondence.
• B. Presides at meetings and oversees Chapter activities.
• C. Oversees financial records.
• D. Schedules social events.

Answer: (B)

The Worthy Matron serves as the presiding officer of the Chapter, leading meetings and guiding the Chapter’s activities. This role places her at the center of planning programs, coordinating with other officers, and ensuring the Chapter runs smoothly throughout the year, often in collaboration with the Worthy Patron. The other duties mentioned belong to different officers or committees: keeping minutes and handling correspondence is a responsibility of the Recording and Corresponding Secretaries, overseeing financial records is the Treasurer’s job, and scheduling social events falls to the appropriate events or programs coordinators. So, presiding at meetings and overseeing Chapter activities best captures the Worthy Matron’s primary function.
