We are the Active Citizens of Tar Valon, or A.C.T

Our mission:
There are very few active citizens, and being a new member can be daunting. The introductions thread is nice with it’s handy stickys and the warm welcomes of other members. The problem is where do you go after that? We believe that more could be done for new members. We want to make them feel comfortable, and help them test the waters with senior members. We want to encourage them to participate and have fun. We want our new members to stick around and stay active.

Proposal:
We are proposing a new group of citizens and possibly junior members who will go above and beyond what our lovely welcoming committee already does. We will be citizen ambassadors. We will be recognizable by a post in an A.C.T. thread and a line in our signatures. We will PM new citizens, try to get to know them, and ask if they have any questions or concerns. We will give encouragement and a helping hand to any member who needs it, not just citizens. We want to be there to help one another. Most importantly, we want our citizens to become more involved in Tar Valon.
We are proposing a new thread in the general forum where A.C.T. members can post and be recognized. New members could also find us there to talk or ask questions. We would like more citizen based activities on the boards and in chat.

Our main concern is our citizens don’t get very involved for the most part. When they do, we lose them to the tower almost immediately. We believe that a different approach is needed to keep people who are not interested in joining the tower active. We want our citizens to feel comfortable and to feel just as integral to tarvalon.net as any senior member.

Feel free to PM me or comment here if you have any questions. :grouphug

**Note** This is completely a volunteer thing. We will need people to help out and commit some time to keep this going.

Volunteers:
SMs:
Avendaella Tikvah-Current Mayor, Aes Sedai of the White Ajah
Alora Sionn-Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah
Yarrow Al'Vare- Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah


JMs:
Anarie De'Thain-Resident Citizen
Aran Cherubim-Resident Citizen
Ixialdor Lathanril-Citizen
Avery d'Itkarya-Accepted

And don't forget to check out our new thread The Citizen's Gift Shop! Stop in and say hi. We won't bite :P

YES! It's open for anyone who wants to help get new Citizens involved more. :D I plan on totally helping even after my term as Mayor is up. I hate seeing people say that they didn't feel like they had a chance to become involved while they were a Citizen.

Anyway, I am hoping to find some friendly and chatty volunteers who can befriend newer citizens and show them how awesome Tar Valon really is.

If you want to keep this to just Citizens and JMs, that's fine. If you care to add a Senior Member to your mix, then count me in!! :D

Everyone is welcome! I know from my own experience that being new to a group and being new to forums in general can be a little daunting. I'm afraid that we lose a lot of potential members because they are uncertain how to go about getting involved. If it wasn't for Neria, Alora Sedai and Raevi Sedai, I'm almost certain I wouldn't have stuck around so long.
I'm just hoping to reach out to people and show them that we aren't scary or judgmental. And maybe prod a few to make posts and have fun!
