The group executive was comprised of an honorary president, president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, convenor of the Works Committee, assistant to the convenor of the Works Committee, convenor of the Red Cross Works Committee, assistant to the convenor of the Red Cross Works Committee, and convenor of the Ways and Means Committee.
