Two key responsibilities characterize the Administrative Vice President's position: 1) leading the recruiting efforts for new Crew members, and 2) managing the recognition of members.

First the Administrative Vice President provides the leadership for the recruiting of new members into the Crew by ensuring that prospective members are made aware of the Crew and are invited to the Crew's open house (every meeting and trip in Crew 222's case) and by encouraging members to bring friends to Crew meetings and trips. The Administrative Vice President follows up with any members who seem to be losing interest, find out why, so that their needs can be addressed in officers' meetings and in the planning of program activities.

Second, the Administrative Vice Presidents responsible for recognizing members and making them feel a part of the Crew. When prospective members come to the Crew's open house, meeting or trips, it is the Administrative Vice President's responsibility to welcome each one.

It is the Administrative Vice President's responsibility to recognize the achievements of individual Crew members, honoring members who win scholarships, awards or gain other achievements in or out of Venturing.

The Administrative Vice President is responsible for maintaining the Crew's code and bylaws (SP2).
