tom i vote you as President and Chris as Vice President since tom is number 1 and Chris is number 2

Just curious...what role or purpose would a pres/board have? Being relatively new still, It seems most of the organization/discussions I have seen so far have gone the route of general consensus. I'm not opposed to a governing body for LOST Ohio, but curious to see how things would feel w/ a hierarchy of Ohio members instead of everyone being more or less equal.

With any proper orgainzing effort, there is usually a set of by laws or articles of orgaization of sorts which spells out how the officers are elected and for how long; what the powers/duties of the offficers are; what they're terms are....etc, etc, etc. The list of organizing efforts just starts there and can go on for awhile depending on how serious you want to make it. Not to mention the fact that all these articles have to be voted on and ammended by the masses as the organizing effort proceeds. This is where the "willingness" of people usually withers and dies. Again, I'm not opposed to orgainziation but, usually its a pain in the stupid and sometimes more trouble than its worth.

Tom, Chris, I think we need leadership to help keep the OH section as fun and active as it can be !! You two are the wise cracking life of the party !!! So I only think it's only right that you two head the chapter. Im willing to help and Im sure Towstrap would, I like the Idea of meet's every month, trail rides , ralley,s etc. and anything that has to do with food, Im up for that !!!

And Chris, about the XJ, FORSALE
you wish!

My way of thinking is to have a person who has the final say so to speak, to try and keep things on course and make sure the OHIO LOST group runs smoothly. If someone wants to organze a run then that person can and should be the "go to" person for the run in sitting up times/locations etc with the help of any officers if need be.

That sounds fine by me. That's sort of the role you've already been playing since I've been on the site and it seems to have gone smoothly so far. I'm really not up for a top heavy organization either, I just wasn't sure how serious of an organizing effort that we were talking about. More power to less organization!!!
