I think the social aspects can be somewhat nebulous. However the
administrative aspects are a pretty clear.<br>
<br>
For the archery marshallate the duties are pretty well defined at:<br>
<a href="http://marshal.ansteorra.org/archery/files/duties.pdf">http://marshal.ansteorra.org/archery/files/duties.pdf</a><br>
<br>
For the most part those sames duties exist for all branches of the
marshallate. You can basically replace "Archery Marshal" with
"Armored Combat Marshal" or "Rapier Combat Marshal" or "Siege
Marshal" or "Thrown Weapons Marshal" or "Equestrian Marshal" and the
list of duties would pretty much still be applicable with few
exceptions. The few exceptions are things like waiver collection.
Target Archery doesn't require waivers (neither does thrown weapons) so
the document doesn't say anything about waivers but a Rapier Marshal or
Armored Combat Marshal would have to make sure that waivers were
checked, and collected and submitted to the waiver secretary
regularly. Additionally the Archery Marshals only have to report on a
quarterly basis but your branch Armored Combat or Rapier Combat Marshal
is supposed to report monthly.<br>
<br>
The Complete Participants Handbook section 10 has the requirements for
all branches of the Ansteorran Marshallate. <a
href="http://marshal.ansteorra.org/handbook/Complete%20Participant%27s%20Handbook%20Jan%202008.pdf">http://marshal.ansteorra.org/handbook/Complete%20Participant%27s%20Handbook%20Jan%202008.pdf<br>
</a><br>
<br>
The other administrative handbooks on the kingdom website can point you
to the requirements for other offices. For instance, the heralds
handbook at:<br>
<a href="http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/docs/COHAdmin_Handbook_2007.pdf">http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/docs/COHAdmin_Handbook_2007.pdf</a><br>
has the requirements for heralds paid out quite clearly.<br>
<br>
Go to<a href="http://treasurer.ansteorra.org/documents.php">
http://treasurer.ansteorra.org/documents.php </a> and you will find
the documents that outline the duties for treasurers.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://moas.ansteorra.org/">http://moas.ansteorra.org/ </a>willl
have the resources for the A&S Ministers.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://seneschal.ansteorra.org/">http://seneschal.ansteorra.org/ </a>
will have the seneschals data.<br>
<br>
etc. etc. etc.<br>
<br>
Just go <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ansteorra.org">www.ansteorra.org</a>, from there to officers, and for each of
the Kingdom officers web pages you should be able to find their
administrative handbooks. They are pretty easy to find.<br>
<br>
To apply for an office the best way is to talk to the the appropriate
regional or kingdom officer who wish to be a deputy to or who you wish
to replace. All of their contact information is in the Black Star.
Then fill out the application for office at <a
href="http://www.ansteorra.org/publications/forms/">http://www.ansteorra.org/publications/forms/</a><br>
and get it and any other required information to the upline officer.
Other information will be things like proof of membership, proof of
authorization (if needed for that office), and proof of identity (if
needed for that office). In general the best first step is always to
contact the regional or kingdom upline who will be accepting your
application and talk to them first so they can tell you exactly what
they will need and expect from you.<br>

type="cite">Could those who KNOW please help me out: WHAT are the
responsibilities of each officer? I know that there are both clerical
and social aspects, and have gotten vague ideas of things to do with
paperwork and background checks and money and enforcing rules and
shaking hands and making reports and complaining about the
impossibility of filing, but I honestly have no idea what the specific
duties are for each officer, and sometimes I get the feeling that I'm
not the only one. (Hey, some of us are still technically new, we're
allowed to show our wet ears and green branches sometimes.) How can we
hold our officers accountable if we don't know what they're responsible
for?
<br>
<br>
So what, exactly, are the Senescahl, the Reeve, the Chirurgeon, the
Herald (as an officer), the A&S and webminister/scribe, minister of
children, and youth/rapier/knight/archery/thrown weapons/projectile
vomit marshalls [did I miss anybody], and their deputies, supposed to
do, supposed to know, supposed to have??
<br>
<br>
PLEASE respond to me privately (gray.quill at gmail dot com) so as not
to take up any more bandwidth, and if the answers lie in specific
documents somewhere, please direct me to them so I can read for myself.
(While you're at it, if someone wants to explain/demonstrate how one
puts in an application for an office that comes open, I wouldn't mind
being told again.)
<br>
<br>
I am asking because I don't know. I am asking because I want to be able
to explain to other newcomers or people who realize they don't know
either. And I'm also asking because I think I might like to take on an
officer position someday, but I wouldn't take a job without knowing
what I was getting into. This darn sense of duty...
