Aes Sedai
Our Director of Events & Conference, Naomi Sedai, has been pounced on by the RL monster and, despite our best efforts to rescue her, it refuses to let go. :tug Her revisions to our processes for bidding and pricing events have made a great impact on how we serve the community, and her presence after her 2+ years with us will be sorely missed. That means we're looking for a new Party Animal in Chief! 
Overview
The Director of Events and Conferences is an Executive level position in the Department of Events and Conferences at TarValon.Net with overall responsibility for planning our official events and ensuring that the planning of unofficial events in our Local Events forum follows TarValon.Net's rules. In this position you will work closely with the Amyrlin, Shatayan and Keeper, as well as the other Directors, particularly Membership, Marketing and Community Outreach.
Duties and Responsibilities
Good luck to all the applicants!

Duties and Responsibilities
- Provide information and advice to the Amyrlin, Shatayan and Keeper
- Supervise the Master/Mistress of Revels and local liaisons for each event to make sure they are planned and executed well
- Solicit event bids in a timely manner
- Make sure our events operate within budget and still provide a good value to our members
- Moderate all Events forums, including Local Events, and make sure our rules are followed

- Be a self-starter.
- Be willing and able to spend ~15 hours a week handling Department issues. This is an estimate. Some weeks are less, some are more, depending on what's happening. This is also a critical requirement, as events planning often has strict deadlines and quick responses can mean the difference in cost and availability for venues.
- Regularly attend at least one official event yearly (past attendance at TarValon.Net events is helpful).
- Experience planning events (although these do not necessarily have to be TarValon.Net events).
- Be extremely organized and creative.
- Be able to employ tact and diplomacy, even with people you don't necessarily like or respect.

- Able to comfortably and professionally represent our organization to outside groups and vendors, such as hotels.
