[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Deputy Society Seneschal - Event Support Services

[ea at sca.org]

The  SCA Board of Directors is directing the Society Seneschal to develop  and implement a new Deputy Society Seneschal Office and accompanying  kingdom level infrastructure to deal with broad-based event support  services.
 
The  core activity and a core competency of the Society for Creative  Anachronism is holding events - and our event autocrats and event staff  are tremendous volunteer resources who typically shoulder the burden  for our mutual benefit over and over and over again.
 
The  Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc. believes that it is possible for  the Society to take steps to reduce some of that burden by providing an  ongoing information clearinghouse resource to provide autocrats and  event staff with lists of providers of the support services needed to  hold and best manage SCA events.

With this  initiative coordinated by a Society-level Deputy Seneschal, and  information gathered, managed, and supervised at the Kingdom level by  deputy Seneschals, the new Office might thus gather, manage, and provide  valuable and timely information for those who put together our events  and activities.  The new Office will be charged with developing a  clearinghouse of event support services like local port-a-john  providers, local externally certified SCA first-aid volunteers, local  emergency services companies, perhaps even local event sites, etc…  The  Office might not only provide a list of providers, but could also  provide additional information about those providers — such as if they  had been used successfully or unsuccessfully by the SCA in the past, if  they provided competitive or uncompetitive rates, basic information  about their certifications/licensing (where applicable), etc…

This  new Deputy Office will thus be responsible for providing information  about the types of services listed above so that they might be made  available for events when wanted or needed, along with information about  the broader range of services of use to event planning and  implementation staff.

The Office will be  created as a new Deputy Seneschal position and, like the Deputies of all  offices (e.g., the Seneschallate, Marshallate, Office of the Exchequer,  Arts & Sciences Office, Herald, etc…) will act to develop and  coordinate these resources at a Kingdom-level.
