Past Officers, Directors, and Volunteers

Landingslag has been shaped by the many people who have given their time and talent over the years, in roles both large and small. This page documents those who have served in formal officer, director, and other named volunteer positions, but it in no way reflects the full picture of the people who have kept the lag going.

The dynamics of the lag have changed through the years, and the officers have adjusted the focus and the activities of the lag to meet these changes.

When possible, these lists are in the order in which the person served. Otherwise, the lists are alphabetical.
