Answer

The Secretary of the Caucus is appointed by the Convener and serves the important role of recording important information during and immediately following the Precinct Caucus. The Secretary of the Caucus may be selected and trained in advance or could simply be a willing person who steps up to the role at the Precinct Caucus at the request of the Convener.

The Secretary of the Caucus is separate from the Secretary of the Precinct, which is elected at the Precinct Caucus and serves a two-year term.

In exigent circumstances (i.e., no one else is willing to fill the role), the Convener may also serve as Secretary of the Caucus, but that is asking a lot from one individual!
