[Ansteorra] Fwd: Grand Council Volunteers

[Kingdom Seneschal]

ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS:

Greetings!  The Grand Council is once again soliciting volunteers to serve.

We are an advisory committee to the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc. Our
charge is to provide productive discussion on proposals for changes to the
Governing Documents of the SCA, as well as to suggest procedural changes
for dealing with modern world problems as they relate to the SCA.

The Grand Council may be called on to offer advice on any sort of policy as
requested by the Board of Directors, but is most frequently involved in
discussions of corporate practice and how our organization functions as a
modern entity.

The Council's discussions cover a wide range of subjects, of both long and
short-term necessity to the Society.  Recent topics include our
recommendations on topics that everyone has discussed, such as fourth
peerage and same sex consorts, as well as issues of long term necessity
such as communication strategies, core competencies, and relationships with
affiliate corporations.

For more information on the Grand Council, please visit our web pages at:
http://grandcouncil.sca.org/index.html

The council consists of both kingdom appointed representatives and at-large
members. If there is someone you feel should be a member of the Grand
Council, please encourage them to apply as an at-large member. If your
kingdom has no current appointed representative, encourage your Crown to
appoint one.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and
locations without any concern for rank or membership status. The Grand
Council meets on-line only, so reliable and frequent e-mail access is a
MUST.

Applications are being accepted ONLINE via the Grand Council's Web Page:

Applications received prior to May 15th 2012 will be used to fill positions
opening in June of this year. When completing the online form, please be
sure and fill in all requested information. We would encourage you to be as
detailed as possible on your application. Let us know who you are and why
you feel you would make a valuable addition to this advisory committee.
