Officers
Many people ask what is involved in the various officer positions. Full descriptions are available, but here are the short versions.
Our officer elections are in April of each year, and appointed positions are filled at the May business meeting. All positions come with a spiffy badge and some privileges.
Certain offices are done as a team effort since the tasks are often beyond the scope of mere mortal volunteers.

If you want to become involved as an officer, we suggest you attend a Society of Janus business meeting as a good start. This often attracts new volunteers (and sometimes makes then run screaming from the room -- just kidding).
