Kingdom Chatelaine –
Greetings, My term as Kingdom Chatelaine comes to an end next May, so I’m in search of a successor deputy.
The Kingdom Chatelaine is responsible for recruitment and retention activities in the Kingdom and the administrative activities related to the office, including but not limited to:
- Scheduling or facilitating newcomers’ classes
- Supporting the local group Chatelaines
- Collecting their reports
- Holding regular meetings
- Coordinating and supporting demo activities across Trimaris
- Serving on the Kingdom Financial Committee
- Upholding and interpreting SCA Corporate Policy relating to the office
- Reporting quarterly to the Society Chatelaine
- Care and maintenance of the Kingdom Gold Key (currently one medium-size box)
- Working with local Chatelaines to provide newcomer resources
- Submitting budget and reimbursement requests to the Kingdom Exchequer
Someone successful in this role will enjoy speaking with new people and feel fulfilled in helping them meet the portions of the Society that most meet their needs. They’ll have reasonable organizational and presentation skills, the ability to access email on a regular basis, and an active presence on the Kingdom Facebook and Discord servers is suggested but not required (deputies to the office could meet those needs.)
The time commitment is generally 1-2 hours a week, varying depending on meeting schedules.
Much of the work of the Chatelaine’s office consists of connecting people, and you’re often the first point of contact for potential new members, returning members, or members from out of Kingdom looking to find their local group.
The physical property of the Chatelaine’s office is a silver collar of state with the badge of office upon it, and a medium-size box of Gold Key.
Questions or resumes can be emailed to chatelaine@trimaris.org. I will accept resumes through October 31, and then contact applicants for follow-up.
Thank you,
Brian Robertson, OP
Kingdom Chatelaine, Trimaris
