History

This role was created after the Department of Marketing was formed. Before the 2010 Admin Meeting, the duties of this team were filled by the Visual Resource Lead. From August 2012 until sometime in 2018, staff positions on the Graphics Development Team rotated/renewed every six months. After that time, staff positions no longer had formal terms/rotations; hiring is done on an as-needed basis. Members may stay on the team as long as they are active or step down at any time; they are eligible to reapply at any time.
