Someday, I can only aspire to be a Vice President of Pencil Sharpeners :)
Sidenote: indeed, on our board we use the terminology Chair &
Vice-Chair, not president.
cheers,

Many organizations have dozens or hundreds of vice
presidents, like Vice
President of Vending Machines and Vice President of Pencil Sharpeners. It's
not really analogous to President and Vice President of the U.S. for
example, which are exclusive positions. Of course I agree that job titles
are kind of silly, but whatever.

Hi.
Erik took on the temporary title "VP of Engineering and Product
Development"
after Danese left.[1] Just recently it was codified on wmfwiki.[2]
I don't really think much of job titles anywhere, but it seems strange to
have a Vice President without having a President.[3] Mostly just noting
for
posterity.
