Message from the Board of Directors

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is with both great appreciation and love and sadness that I announce that @Eleyan Al'Landerin , Koyn Amyrlin and Founder of TarValon.net, will be stepping down from the Board. However, we aren't losing her completely! Eleyan will be a consultant to the Board so we can still plague her with questions about all things TV.net!

I cannot begin to express how different my life would have been, if it weren't for Eleyan and her friend Wendy reading the books, wanting to be Aes Sedai, then figuring out a way to make it so. I remember buying the books at my local bookstore, then scouring the internet for more information. Somehow, I made it here...and I never left

I can remember the first time I met Eleyan - it was at 5th Anni in Corpus Christi. She came over to me, and talked to me, and I was just so amazed that she knew who I was...and took the time to come and talk to me. I was floored. I hadn't expected that! Over the years, I've had the chance to get to know Melissa better. She is a warm, caring, loving individual. I am richer for knowing her, and I will greatly miss her presence on the board. But like I said earlier - I still get to bug her about stuff, and she will always be welcome to attend any board meeting she can attend. This place is her baby - her creation, and wow...what a wonderful place it is

Thank you, Melissa - for your friendship, love, and for creating this place to call our home!

Love you @Eleyan Al'Landerin !!

Thank you, @Eleyan Al'Landerin :curtsey

Thank you for everything Eleyan!!! One of my Highlights from Anni in Redtop was being on your team for Trivia!! So much fun!

I'm glad she'll still be around to advise, this is her baby it wouldn't be right without her

Oh for goodness sake I thought you were going to say she died :facepalm

Thank you for all of this, @Eleyan Al'Landerin. I would love for you to be here and be proud of it all. I owe a debt of service to you.

Thank you for your service to everyone

Thank you Eleyan, you have given so much

Thank you!!

Thank you and happy semi-retirement.

Thank you, Eleyan. Pretend like this is Locus.

As a point of center and heart for this community as a whole, your voice will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything, @Eleyan Al'Landerin. <3 Look forward to those hugs once again soon!

@Eleyan Al'Landerin it's been lovely meeting you and getting to know you over the years. You were the first one who introduced yourself to us at our first event and we had no clue what was going on. From J-Cons to Anni parties, it's been so much fun. And it was fun to absolve you of your terrible sin of burning a cheap romance novel at GA Anni! Best of luck in all that you do. We'll miss you. <3

Thank you for everything you have done for me personally and for the site, @Eleyan Al'Landerin.
