I can't emphasize this tip enough!

Make sure everyone has a way to meaningfully contribute to the team and feels included. This goes especially for new team members, since their first year will determine if they want to stay on the team or not.

You don't have to know how to do everything, but you need to have an officer team you can work well with to cover all the bases. Work work this officer group to set an agenda for every meeting, and lead the team to work toward it.

You will run the team. There will be a lot of things you'll want to get done. Delegate work effectively, so you aren't overburdened. Don't delegate too much, do no less than your fair share of work. In the vein of delegating, make sure the load is fairly distributed.

If you have any questions or problems to face, feel free to ask here or PM me. Being a leader isn't easy, but being conscientious enough to ask for advice here is a sign that you'll do a great job
