As you all know, we recently suckered voted in new Club Officers for the 2007 flying season.  New Club President Ricky Anderson quickly got on the stick and -- in True "Binder Man Brad Wolf" fashion -- he whipped his team into shape.

Commander Anderson hosted an Officer Transition Meeting in mid-January, and had detailed discussions regarding both the officer positions and what the focus of the Club should be for 2007.  As a result of that meeting, he created the first Job Descriptions for Club Officers that I have ever seen.  Check this out:
