A proven way to structure user group management is by having clearly defined roles and responsibilities. PADNUG's organizational structure is as follows:

President

(Rich Claussen)

The president's role is to be the master-of-ceremonies, ensuring the meetings run smoothly and maintaining a high membership approval rating of the group. The president solicits sponsorships to help offset group logistic funding, giveaways, or other special events. The president is the final decision maker regarding group activities.

Vice President

(Lee Williamson)

The Vice President should be able to fulfill all the responsibilities of the President in the event the president is not available.

Treasurer

(Lee Williamson)

The Treasurer is responsible for the funds, both from corporate/organizational sponsorships as well as membership dues, if PADNUG dues are ever collected.
