Tyler,

Ideally the committee can select a new chair.

Do you have particular events in mind?  I assume this mostly falls
under the baliwick of the marketing committee?

I think the board needs to address this after year end.

I'm hoping an existing contributor (Landon?) can lead this effort.
Can you poll for someone?

Seems reasonable.

Right, with the treasurer responsible for the machinery of invoicing.

Without Tyler to carry the water for the Journal and Marketting
it is important for them to self organize and find more volunteers.
If that doesn't happen the efforts will flag.

All the above IMHO of course.
