*Editor-In-Chief*
Responsible for everything.  Yep, thats about it.  Most importantly,
they are the face of the organization, and are in charge of doing what
they can to allow the organization to exist another 193726284 years.
Selfish people not apply, you are here for Grogo's work.  The Pope of

Second in command.  Assists the EIC in holding editors on task.
Assists the EIC with oddball stuff that doesn't fall within others'

leadership skills.  Traditional stepping stone to being EIC, not

Interested in taking a greater role at Technique, but don't have the
time/interest/skillz for any of the jobs above?  Contributing Editors

active in doing random jobs that need to be done.  They are the
favorite people of hard-working EICs and Managing Editors.  I became
Facebook-married with TNQ's 2009 contrib editor.
