While we try to keep PortLUG as casual and unstructured as we can, we do have officers to keep PortLUG operating, efficient, and organized. Even so, PortLUG is lead by our members – no one individual is in charge! The officers keep the group organized, but the members are the driving force of PortLUG. We are able to pull off all of the amazing events that we do thanks to our active and engaged group of AFOLs.
