Changes

Initial leadership was provided by the co-founders of the group. When the time came for succession, the successor was chosen by the co-founders. The student chosen gained the position based on his demonstrated capabilities, interest in the organization and by merit. The group operates with a formal leadership structure (President, VP, Tresurer, Public Relations Officer, etc...) with informal responsibilities. Group members have leeway to work on their own interests and are provided with the responsibilities that suit their position and capabilities.
