The Executive Board
All clubs at Michigan State are run by a group of students who have been elected to the E-Board by fellow club members. Our E-Board is comprised of 5 positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Social Media Director. The E-board handles all the responsibilities of the club and organizes all the events.
