Officer History
Up through 2014, elections were held every September, with the positions becoming effective immediately. In the table below, the Year corresponds to the September in which the elections were held. Starting in 2015, elections will take place in December, and the positions will become effective in the following January, so the officers serve for a calendar year. The 2014 officers will serve a few extra months, from Sept 2014 to Dec 2015. For 2016 and later, the Year in the table corresponds to the year of service, not the year of election.
