Starting in 2006, the position of Secretary/Treasurer was split into two separate positions and the position of Chair Elect was also split into two positions (Vice-Chair and Vice-Chair Elect); details can be found in the Bylaws. While it is believed that this is complete, you can view the database-driven version here.
