*According to the April 1981 issue of CT, Arlene Root was elected as Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect, and Marc Faw as Member-at-Large; however, the January 1983 issue indicated that Marc Faw was the incoming Chair following the 1982 elections. Although there was nothing recorded in CT, it is assumed that Arlene Root was unable to fulfill her term (she did not appear in the membership list after June 1981), and that Marc Faw then stepped into the Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect position (per Bylaws), and was elected as Chair in 1982.
