Rationale and
​Structure

LSLP as a research unit, needs to address different constituencies: On the one hand, we have logistic and academic duties related to the Medellín branch and our host institution. On the other, we continue working on our regional and international projection. Addressing the needs and concerns at these levels requires a larger structure. LSLP Leadership brings together several LSLP researchers with specific duties and tasks. Our organizational chart features the following:

• The LSLP Chair is the person overseeing the research efforts both in the local branch (#lslplegion) and the larger networks (#lslpworldwide). The chair also sends the semester reports to UPB's Provost for Research Affairs. (NOTE: in our Discord server, the Chair appears with the label LSLP Mobile Kommand Center)
• The Associate Chair supports the Chair in the everyday operations and decision-making processes. Within the university, they are listed as supporting faculty members.
• The Advisory Board provides different levels of support and counsel to the Chair and Associate Chair. We ensure representation from all three teams within the Legion.

(NOTE: We include all members' Discord call sign below their names and, in some cases, their pronouns. We are also including every member's ORCID iD for reference, as that is now a requirement for all Legion members.)
