Yahoo group works fine for what it is, but it's not great for a long-term solution because it doesn't organize messages other than by date, and you have to individually open up each message to see the chain of conversation. This has many more features and better organization. For example, you can set it up so that the PR Coordinator is an Admin on just the PR board, or so that there's a board that only the elected Board of Directors can see.
It's a lot easier for people who need to plan an upcoming event to be able to do that under events, people who want to look at sponsors to be able to go to the sponsorship section and click on a sticky post that would always be at the top, etc. rather than everyone always having to scroll back five pages to find the specific message where people were discussing the topic they were interested in, especially for topics that get discussed or added to over a long period of time and keep getting buried and having to be found again.
My first team had been on a Yahoo group for five or six years and it was incredibly cluttered and obnoxious at that point with thousands of old messages. People hated it, but they didn't want to go to anything else because they didn't want to lose all the old stuff. Right before I left they finally decided to make the old Yahoo group an archive and to start fresh on Proboards because the Yahoo group was just unmanageable.

I like the organization and think it would be in our best interest to learn from Blonde's previous team!

This seems much better than the yahoo group.
