[Ipg-smz] Colanders

[Christine Hall]

Co-leader would be correct for AP style according to the stylebook:

Retain the hyphen when forming nouns, adjectives and verbs that indicate 
occupation or status:
co-author	co-pilot
co-chairman	co-respondent (in a divorce suit)
co-defendant	co-signer
co-host	co-sponsor
co-owner	co-star
co-partner	co-worker
(Several are exceptions to Webster's New World College Dictionary in the 
interests of consistency.)
As part of a formal title before a name: co-President Alexa Manola, 
co-Executive Director Alfredo Hudson. But Smith Electric Co-Op if that 
is the formal name.
Use no hyphen in other combinations:
coed	cooperate
coeducation	cooperative
coequal	coordinate
coexist	coordination
coexistence	copay
Cooperate, coordinate and related words are exceptions to the rule that 
a hyphen is used if a prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows 
begins with the same vowel.
