IHS CHeer Booster Club OFficers and Liasions

Each year the IHS Cheer Booster club nominates and votes on Booster Officers for the coming year.  Nominations are taken and motions are passed usually during the April meeting to prepare for the coming school year.  Below are the current officer positions and a brief outline of what each position requires. 

​We also realize that not everyone necessarily wants or can take on the additional responsibility of an officer, lead, or liaison position and that's okay!  In practice, each event, activity, idea, fundraiser, etc.,  takes many hands to bring to life!  The important thing is to get involved.
