Charles, I've attached the OC roster, updated with your information. It has four parts:
1) Committees and their chairs for quick reference. 2) The same, but with everyone's address. 3) Everyone's job description. 4) The main committees each committee needs to work with. Also, the OC has a private section of the website with the roster and other information.
