[Jason Williams]

Position Available: Press Officer of the SCA, Inc

 

The Vice President of Operations is currently accepting applications for the
position of Press Officer of the SCA Inc.  This is an unpaid position
requiring approximately 10-15 hours per week.

 

The Press Officer (modernly the Assistant VP of Media Relations) is a Deputy
of the Society Seneschal (VP of Operations of the Society for Creative
Anachronism, Inc.)

 

The Press Officer (and its various kingdom and war deputies) works with any
vehicle of communication used by the modern press: Radio, Television,
Newspaper, and online publications of the modern world to proactively
influence the public outside of the SCA, using an internationally
coordinated and consistent effort of media contact, with the goal of gaining
positive image, creating name recognition, and facilitating interaction
between our members and resources in the modern world.

 

Primary duties are to create and maintain basic media kits for use by
regional deputies and assist where needed in their campaigns, coordinate
with all Kingdom Media officers and media deputies for events over 2,000
attendees, field inquiries from national and international (major) media and
documentarians, and prepare and deliver any and all necessary statements to
be used by the SCA, Inc, in the event of a major negative publicity event.

 

Additionally, the Press Officer submits quarterly reports to the Society
Seneschal, and must be available to make an annual presentation to the Board
of Directors at a quarterly Board Meeting, typically held over a Friday and
a Saturday.  The Press Officer may be expected to perform other duties as
assigned by the Board, Society Seneschal, or SCA President.

 

Qualifications for the position include excellent written and oral
communication skills, the ability to work independently to prioritize and
delegate tasks and meet deadlines, strong computer skills, ability to
organize a staff, experience in a modern business setting, organizational
ability and problem-solving skills are a must.  Experience in a modern
publicity firm and prior experience at the Corporate level of the SCA are
desirable, but not required.

 

As a great deal of SCA and Press business occurs via the internet,
familiarity and basic skills with a computer, MS Office software (such as
Microsoft Word and Excel) printers, and e-mail are required.  The successful
applicant must have reliable access to electronic mail and a printer.  A fax
machine is helpful, but not necessary.

 

The Media Policy may be found in the Seneschal’s Handbook (Oct 2005) -
Appendix D, or at www.sca.org/docs/mediapolicy.pdf
