Officer positions are elected yearly. With the other changes it wouldn't
surprise me if Jan didn't want to be anymore (it appears they nominate
themselves) and/or just everyone thought it would be better to mix up the
officer positions (All of them changed except for Treasurer, which makes
sense since Stuart was appointed to the board specifically as Treasurer
after a search).
