There have been calls in the past to have a proper management structure with 
president, secretary and whatnot, it was even proposed at some point to 
incorporate tclug into a non-profit organization, but for the most part the 
leadership of tclug has been left to the old timers, Scot Jenkins, Ben 
'SuperQ' Kochie, Bob 'Basic' Tanner, Mike Bresnahan, Yaron, Florin Iucha, 
Ben 'IdiotBen' Lutgens,  and yes, Chad 'Chewie' Walstrom. this is by no 
means a complete list, there are many more and the list changes 
as some people drop off of the face of the earth and as others join them.

Of course TCLUG does just fine and leadership comes in very rarely if ever 
really.

As this list has evolved most of us look at these people as the elders of 
the TCLUG , while their opinions are not binding they do set the overall 
tone and are respected, these opinions are a general guide that generally 
gets followed. when these elders of the TCLUG post i always read their 
posts and whatever they say i cannot help but respect it. So my advice to 
all the newbies on the list is this: Learn who the elders are and respect 
your elders.
