Default Other table design solutions for storing multiple employee ID's

I have a table which holds the ID, DivisionID, Division term (ex: 2007-2009,
2009-2011), followed 10 fields (type = number) for the 10 officer positions.
I have 52 divisions and 178 terms that have to be tracked (1921-2099). Each
10 Division Officers need to be maintained; for example here are the 10
offices and the EmployeeID numbers:

ID DivID Term Term Pres 1VP 2VP Chaplain RS Reg. Treas. Hist.
CS Lib Parl
40 29 88 4/30/2009 26694
29776 35877 32121 36207 34987 34985 36942 34863 36497 26088
41 29 90 4/30/2011 29776
35877 2461 36311 36053 36498 36575 37209 33860 36207 26694

This allows me to only have about 5000 records. If were to make the table
just have a field called officer position and the the employeeid; it would
cause the file to hold over 92,000.

My issue is two- fold:
1) I have a combo box on the form that uses the employee number from the
field to each of the 10 fields. It works fine, but the form is very slow to
open -- but once open it works great.

2) I need to generate reports from this table. I need to list all of the 10
officers names. I started creating the query and linked the President field
to the Employee table to get the name; but when I went to link the 1st VP
that's when Access "yelled" at me.

How do I link to the Employee table for each of the 10 officers in order to
get their names? Is there another way?

Please help.
