I'm very sad to say that Maibella has decided that it is time to move on, and I would like to publicly thank her for the years of service she has given to the Tar Valon Times. It would not be what it is today without her. This also means that I am now seeking a new Tar Valon Times Editor.

This is a non-rotating administrative position, eligible for the Administrator Merit.
