Assistant Business Managers
ABMs were student the highest student financial position, appointed by the Executive Committee. Later ABMs, however, worked under the Business Manager rather than the political officers, often in specialized roles such as Personnel or planning.

I think this position should be renamed "comptroller." Mainly because the latter looks cooler, but also the latter is more clearly a financial officer. -KrisFricke
- That's crazy talk!
Note that CEO and COO are practical terms often used, in the corporate world, as additions to titles such as "Chairman of the Board" or "Executive Vice President" to denote actual levels of involvement in strategic decision making and day-to-day operations, respectively.
I agree with Devin, this position should be called Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Sounds good. Constitutional amendment, anyone? Just remember, Paul for Chancellor 2007!
Controller is the CEO? His decisions take precedence over the President's?? I'm not sure he's even the COO vis-a-vis Mark Champagne. If it really says something about that in the Constitution well they're really just throwing titles around then.
