The BGSU Men's Chorus Officers are an elected group by the chorus student body. The officers are elected in the final weeks of classes each year for the following year. The officers handle the organization side of the chorus including tours, finances, brotherhood building activities, publicity, alumni relations, and fundraising. The officers this year hope to bring a new level of brotherhood to the chorus and promote the BGSU Men's Chorus to the campus and surrounding communities.
