Michigan SAF Organization and Officers
The Michigan SAF has a set of state officers and teams where individuals serve for varying amounts of time. The chair-elect is voted upon annually and serves with the current chair. The immediate past-chair serves in an additional advisory capacity, as do many of the other past-chairs. There are two student chapters - one at Michigan State University and another at Michigan Technological University. Changes in SAF structure and personnel occur regularly.
