RE: Son of Masthead
Hi Erik,
Thanks for doing this research. I'll print out this email and the old
newsletter masthead from your example and have them available for reference
at our next meeting.

Subject: RE: Son of Masthead
Hi Rick,
Actually, that's also with precedent. President, VP and Secretary (what
Clay is now renaming to "Historian") have always been board positions.
They deal specifically with running the board. The bylaws (when we had
them) stated that the club elects the board, and the board elects the
president, VP and secretary. In the masthead, the board members who are
president, vp and secretary had these titles listed with them.
Interestingly, I also remember Steve Avenell mentioning once that
Treasurer is not a board position, but "a person" appointed by the board.
Though the last four treasurers have all been board members, I suspect
this was originally a rule of convenience, because the longtime treasurer
of the club for 20 years wasn't interested in being on the board.
Looking back on the last 10 years of newsletters & magazines, we have been
listing Treasurer as part of the board.
The other "jobs" are actually called Committee Chairs, and have been
listed separate from the board for the last 8 years.
Newsletter editor, exchange editor, and ad manager (when there has been
one) are listed under a separate header "Newsletter Staff".
I dug out one of the masthead pages from one of the old newsletters that
might help explain things better than all this rambling of mine:
