 <ul>
   <li><strong>TiC: </strong>stands for Techie in Charge. The TiC is generally in charge of planning all tech support required for an event. This includes communicating with organizers, finding run crew, and taking care of all other logistics necessary to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible.</li>
   <li><strong>FoH: </strong>stands for Front of House engineer. The FoH is responsible for sound, including setup, mixing, and ensuring that the house (where the audience is) sounds good. On top of determining which set of speakers to use, prep work often involves accounting for all sound inputs and mapping them into a workbook to keep track of them.</li>
-  <li><strong>LD: </strong>stands for Lighting Designer. Similarly to the FoH, the LD is responsible for all things lights. LDs sometimes have to make lighting plots that show where lights go in relation to each other and the stage, an important document that tells riggers and electricians how to hang and power their lights. LDs also often have to account for lighting changes on stage, and pre-program them for ease of swapping during show.</li>
+  <li><strong>Mon: </strong> is short for Monitor engineer. For events with live sound requirements, performers often want to be able to hear what they are playing using monitor speakers or in-ear monitors. Sometimes, these requests are complex enough that an specific engineer is required to prepare a monitor system and mix during the show. Mons are also often responsible for helping performers move instruments during show changeovers.</li>
+  <li><strong>LD: </strong>stands for Lighting Designer. Similar to the FoH, the LD is responsible for all things lights. LDs program cues and operate lights during the show; for many events, they also have creative control over how the stage and actors look. For larger shows, LDs will make lighting plots that show where lights go in relation to each other and the stage. Riggers and Electricians will implement the plot so the LD can light the show.</li>
   <li><strong>SM: </strong>stands for Stage Manager. SMs come into play when someone needs to be backstage to communicate between the performers there and the run crew in house. While the SM's job sometimes consists of handing off equipment (e.g. mics, keyboards), it also includes playing music files and calling cues, since they have a better grasp on the state of the performers than other run crew.</li>
   <li><strong>ME: </strong>stands for Master Electrician. Most events do not require an ME, but one becomes necessary when a large quantity of lights and or speakers is required for an event. The ME calculates the power draw of all the equipment, and allocates them to different electrical circuits based on capacity and proximity. While the ME is not strictly required to be at the event, unlike the previous run crew positions, they are required to do paperwork in order to determine how to safely set up equipment, and will especially need to be present at setup in the case that a power distribution system is required. Due to the meticulous and cautious nature of this run position, MEs have to be approved by the Head of Tech in order to run power for any event, and are picked on a case-by-case basis.</li>
   <li><strong>MR: </strong>stands for Master Rigger. In the case that equipment needs to be suspended in the air, a rigger is required to ensure the structural safety of the event. As AB Tech prioritizes safety of its members and equipment, the MR has the final call on whether something is safe or unsafe, and has to do weight and balance calculations in order to prove the safety of a particular structure. Due to the meticulous and cautious nature of this run position, MRs have to be approved by the Head of Tech in order to rig for any event, and are picked on a case-by-case basis.</li>
-  <li><strong>a*: </strong> Sometimes run position titles have an 'a' in front of them, such as aTiC, aFoH, or aLD. This indicates an assistant position, which aids the respective run crew member in their duties. The way the assistant helps is entirely up to the main run crew member. However, many times run crew members will open up 'a' positions in order to train new members alongside helping with duties. If you see an 'a' position open up for a role that you are interested in, feel free to apply!</li>
-  <li><strong>s*: </strong> Shoulder positions, such as sTiC, sFoH, or sLD, are assistant positions for experienced members. A main run crew member may be ready to take a show on their own, but want someone more experienced around in case any issues arise. In this case, shoulders act as experienced assistants who are ready to help troubleshoot and otherwise assist as the main run crew needs. If you see an s* position open and are available to lend a helping head, shoulder, knee or toe (but mostly shoulder), please apply!</li>
+  <li><strong>Media: </strong>stands for, well, Media. Tech doesn’t have this position often, but when we do, they control what audiences and presenters see and hear on their respective screens. Media has a good understanding of how signals run between their sources and projection equipment, such as projectors and monitors.</li>
+  <li><strong>LProg: </strong>is short for Lighting Programmer. LProgs help the LD program cues for events with significant lighting requests, and may have the opportunity to design dances depending on the LD and event.</li>
+  <li><strong>SpotOp: </strong>stands for Spotlight Operator. This person sits on comm following a script. At the SM’s cue, they will aim a spotlight and follow the actor around stage.</li>
+  <li><strong>Truck/Car: </strong>Sometimes, we need to transport equipment around or off campus. If you have a valid driver’s license and are interested in driving on behalf of AB Tech, talk to a HoT about getting approved by SLICE to drive vehicles.</li>
