Our team has a five-person student leadership structure. I have pasted the descriptions of the positions as given in our team handbook below. Management team members do a lot to help lead the team, but they usually have other roles on the team in addition to just leadership. At team meetings, they participate in the subteam activities along with everyone else. The leadership work is mostly done outside of team meetings by email, on conference calls, and at in-person meetings. This means there really isn't a communication gap between them and other team members; they're at the meetings doing everything along side the rest of the team.
