The chatelaine is a greater
office of the barony, and as such is a required office. We
must have it filled to keep our status as a Barony. The
chatelaine is required to have a current SCA membership.
The chatelaine may have the
following deputies, and should receive reports from them.
Gold Key
Demo coordinator
other deputies may be assigned as needed 3
The duties of the
chatelaine are
1) to be a contact for
newcomers to the SCA, or the barony. You should have a
published email address, as much of the contact will be
from the web. Phone numbers do not need to be made public.
Information given to newcomers may include : upcoming
events, local meetings times and places, contact
information for other officers who can answer more
detailed questions, what to expect at a first event, how
to behave at the event, and how to get loner garb or feast
gear. At events you should be prepared to shepherd the new
person and make them feel welcome and comfortable.
2) to be a contact person
for groups or individuals looking for demos. The
chatelaine or deputy should gather all the information
about the demo and make announcements to the populace at
meetings, practices, in the newsletter, and on on the web
or e-list as appropriate. At the demo the chatelaine
should be prepared to talk with, and answer questions from
the attendees. Fliers or handouts about the sca are
helpful. The chatelaine does not need to personally attend
every demo, but should make arrangements for someone to
speak with people and take a report of the activities and
attendance.
3) to report to the
kingdom chatelaine, the seneschal, and their excellencies
on a quarterly basis.
4) to report to the barony
at populace meetings every month. A written copy of the
monthly report should also be submitted to the baronial
chronicler for publication in the newsletter. |
