Members
There are three types of members: Elected, Auxiliary, and Honorary.
Due to the busy nature of Richland students, RCSGA has created different types of members. Each type of member has different duties, but contributes to the effectiveness of RCSGA.
Elected Members
During General and Special Elections, the people who are voted on to the Council are called the Elected Members. Elected Members vote on all of the issues brought before the RCSGA.
This position has many perks, but has an equal number of requirements. Elected members must work two hours every week, attend all meetings and SPAR events. These members must help one another to achieve goals

Auxiliary Member
During General and Special Elections, the people who are not voted onto the Council are offered the role of Auxiliary Membership. They are a vital part of RCSGA. Auxiliary Members often give a fresh perspective to the Council.
