From the Bylaws

2.4 RS Fleet Commander

The Rebel Squadrons Fleet Commander (FC) is the individual with the highest executive authority in the RS.

This officer will execute the mission statement of the RS to the full extent of his or her abilities at all times; shall be responsible for ensuring the effective operations of HC, for facilitating smooth day-to-day operations of the RS, and shall be elected, or removed from office, by a simple majority vote of HC members. The FC does not have a vote in HC, except as a tiebreaker. Under this circumstance the FC should strive to resolve the deadlocked vote by way of the best compromise available.

It is intended that the FC should be selected from current or previous members of the High Command, and that this officer be a previous or active Fleet Commanding Officer. Should the FC be a Fleet Commanding Officer at the time they are voted in to the position, he or she is expected to resign from command of his/her Fleet, and the FC position should be his or her only major command responsibility.

Past Fleet Commanders

Each of the following officers have had the rare opportunity to serve as Fleet Commander of the Rebel Squadrons. They each have encountered and challenged the call of volunteerism in ways that few ever experience. Volunteering to run a non-profit organization for the enjoyment of hundreds of Star Wars fans is not an easy task -- quite the opposite. Each member who has served as RS Fleet Commander deserves thanks and recognition for the immense amount of time required to do the job properly. To denote their service, all former FCs, listed below, have earned the title of Rebel Squadrons Fleet Commander Emeritus to recognize their accomplishments.
