Presidents serve as the heads of each Hall Council, working closely with the Hall Council advisor to set the agenda for and preside over meetings. Through this, they help establish the trajectory of the Hall Council. They are also in charge of delegating responsibilities to other hall council members, completing End of Month reports, appointing residents to committees as needed, and attending one Board of Directors meeting per month.

Vice Presidents are responsible primarily for fulfilling the duties of the President in their absence and representing their Hall Council to the rest of the campus community. They represent and vote on behalf of their Hall Council at the IRHC Board of Directors meetings, which take place every Monday night at 8:30, serving as a liaison between their Hall Council and the IRHC executive board. They also collaborate with other campus partners to advocate for the needs of their community and take the lead on advocacy initiatives. Depending on the size of the halls represented, a hall or complex may have one or two Vice Presidents.

Treasurers work closely with the Hall Council advisor to create and maintain an accurate budget for the Hall Council. They are responsible for all funds, receipts, and reimbursements for costs of programming or other hall enhancements made by the Hall Council. They must also create and submit a monthly financial report, present monthly budget updates to the rest of their Hall Council, and take the lead on auditing and ordering supplies for the front desk. Treasurers are required to maintain budget transparency with all hall residents.

Secretaries are responsible for keeping official records of Hall Council meetings and programs. They take and distribute minutes from Hall Council meetings to other members and keep an accurate attendance record of Hall Council functions. They are also responsible for overseeing Homecoming activities within the halls.

They document events and achievements through photos and videos, compiling a hall scrapbook at the end of each semester, and maintaining a hall bulletin board. They are also responsible for creating and distributing marketing materials for Hall Council programs.

Floor reps are auxiliary members of the Hall Council, serving in an unelected, volunteer position. Floor reps serve as a vital link between the Hall Council and the rest of the Residence Hall Complex, offering communication and advocacy support. Floor reps are responsible for helping to advertise Hall Council events, assisting in the responsibilities of Hall Council Members, and filling in for Hall Council Members at Board of Directors meetings or other events.

Equity and Inclusion Reps are responsible for coordinating equity and inclusion education projects and programs with your Hall Council. They work with other hall council members to ensure hall council events are equitable and inclusive, and that the hall council is meeting the Respect learning goal of residential curriculum.
