Mismanagement
People & RolesThe mismanagement is the collective group of hash members who volunteer (or are voluntold) to organize and run the kennel. The name reflects the hash’s self-deprecating humor — they are literally the management, but “mis-” implies the chaotic, amateur nature of hash organization.
