More changes coming to the Department of Marketing...
Our most excellent Editor of the Tar Valon Times, Erin Sedai, has decided to step down from her position. She put 2 years of effort into managing this publication and has done a fantastic job. Thank you, Erin! I will miss working with you in Marketing.
Following the application process, Erin will work with the incoming Editor through December to ensure that the role transitions smoothly.
The position of Editor will require plenty of regular checking-in, both via email and the boards. The Editor is solely responsible for the publication of the TVT on the site Community page (blog-style, coded in HTML), and maintained in the Library wiki. There is an email component as well. See below for details. Questions? Email marketing@tarvalon.net and/or editor@tarvalon.net.
