Here's a question for you:
What is the appropriate term of leadership when an individual got a group started that did not previously exist BUT for which there was an institutional mandate. (The Interfaith Council was technically created by the MSU Student Government and "existed" according to their by-laws, but absolutely nothing was done and Nada and I got it going from nothing other than that - we created Constitution, meetings, constituency, etc.)
Am I co-founder? Just co-chair? Something else?

you are whatever you can get away with claiming you are
I'm the "founding president" of JONAH even though the (unnamed) group existed before I was president. I would go with "co-founder".
According to the internet, "founder" means "fall through: fail utterly; collapse."
Oh, wait. To "found" is "to set up, to launch, to start something for the first time." Looks like a win to me.
