This is exactly the way LUGOD works.  Elected officers are also specifically
necessary for our 501(c)7 non-profit status.  We have:

  President  (aka Chairperson aka "root")
  Vice-President  (aka Vice-Chairperson aka "sys")
  Secretary  (aka "typescript")
  Treasurer  (aka "/dev/null")

The appointed (really just volunteer) positions we have include:

  Installfest Coordinator
  Demo Coordinator
  Public Relations Officer

...and either we did, or are planning on, making Mailing List Manager an
officer position, too.  (Again, not-voted, but appointed/volunteered.)
