President: Mostly general moral leadership
Treasurer: Manage that money!
Secretary: Keep official records
System administrator: Both plan and set up technical infrastructure and keep it running on a day to day basis
- Note that the President/Treasurer/Secretary are officers on the board of directors, and have legal decision-making power defined under Pennsylvania law and HCoop's bylaws and articles of incorporation. System administrators, by contrast, have only powers delegated to them by the board of directors. Despite this, sysadmins may act quite autonomously and may be more involved with the day to day operations of HCoop than directors, though they are ultimately subordinate to and acting on behalf of the board, which in turn is elected by and represents the interests of the membership at large.
