GRAND KNIGHT:
The grand knight is responsible for the overall welfare of the council.

More specifically, his duties include: presiding over council meetings, appointing membership and program directors, acts as an ex officio member on all committees, including membership of recruitment and retention committees while making sure all required reports are submitted on time. The grand knight represents the council at Chapter meetings and the annual state convention.
DEPUTY GRAND KNIGHT:
The deputy grand knight is second in command in the council. He assists the grand knight in the operation of the council affairs and is responsible for any duties assigned to him by the grand knight. He is also the council's program director advising the various service program directors. Unless there are objections the deputy grand knight will be nominated for grand knight the following Columbian year.
CHANCELLOR:
The chancellor assists the grand knight and deputy grand knight in the execution of their duties and takes charge of the council in the absence of the grand knight and deputy grand knight. He chairs the membership activities of the council to attract new members, getting them through the three degrees and making new members feel welcome in our council. The chancellor can be nominated to deputy grand knight the following Columbian year if there are no objections.
WARDEN:
The warden is responsible for supervising and maintaining most council property except that which belongs to the financial secretary. He sets up council chambers for meetings and degrees and supervises guards for ceremonial exemplifications. The warden should also oversee the inside and outside guards and make sure they are fulfilling the duties assigned to them The warden should move up to chancellor the following Columbian year if there are no objections.
INSIDE/OUTSIDE GUARDS:
The inside guard attends the inner door of the council chamber, checking on paid up membership cards before allowing entrance. The outside guard tends the outer door of the council home admitting all visitors to the inner door. Both of these positions assist the warden in setting up the chamber for meeting and other council activities.
RECORDER:
The recorder functions the same way that a court recorder does by maintaining the minutes of council meetings. He also maintains all council correspondence.
FINANCIAL SECRETARY:
This office is approved by and represents supreme and is appointed for a term of three years. The financial secretary's duties revolve around two areas: financial records and membership records. He receives all moneys that come into the council from any source. He then turns that money over to the council treasurer for deposit into the council account. One of the main functions of this office is to collect money in the form of dues. He is the one who sends out dues notices. He must insure that new members sign constitutional roll of membership at the first degree.
TREASURER:
The treasurer is an elected officer in charge of handling all council funds. He receives money from the financial secretary. He must keep accurate financial records. The treasure makes payments approved by the trustees.
ADVOCATE:
The advocate is the legal representative of the council and serves as the council's attorney in case of trial and investigation of any matter of interest to the council. He should be thoroughly familiar with all of the laws of the Order as stated in the "Charter, Constitution and Laws" and with council by-laws as well as a working knowledge of the "Roberts Rules of Order".
LECTURER:
The lecturer is appointed by the grand knight to provide suitable educational and entertaining programs for the council. He is responsible for presenting the "Good of the Order" section of the council meetings. He will have ample time at each meeting to present a worthwhile program that will help build attendance and provide benefits to the membership that is present.
CHAPLAIN:
The priest chosen will primarily act as spiritual advisor to the brother knights and families of the council. He has no specific duties with regards to running the council. He is expected, however, to make a report at council meeting and give brief talk on any religious matters. The chaplain should also serve as an advisor to the church activities director.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
The board of trustees consist of the grand knight and three members elected by the council which traditionally are past grand knights. Trustees supervise all financial business of the council. They serve as auditors of the books. They also serve on the council's retention committee.
