[1]: The Lab Administrator position did not exist until the fall of 1997. In the fall of 1997, we changed the bylaws so that elections were held at the end of the academic year rather than the end of the calendar year. Thus, the officers for the spring of 1998 were elected for one-semester terms.
[2]: The Resource Manager position did not exist until the fall of 2004. The Resource Manager is hardware, whereas the Lab Administrator is software. The position was also eliminated in spring of 2005, and all duties are folded back into the Lab Administrator.
