Naomi al'Moranwin
Aes Sedai
Our marvelous Lillian Sedai will be stepping down from this role. Major thanks go out to her for all she's done to keep us partying the last few years. 
This position is the most demanding of all the MoR roles due to the fact we have two scheduled official events a year that they are responsible for. This position doesn't have down time, it rolls from one event to the other and they often overlap! Lilli has kindly agreed to stay on through a transitional period, so you will have experienced support for the first few months.
Duties and Responsibilities
Requirements
Hopefully some of you are still interested! If you would like to apply for this position, please send an email with the subject line APPLICATION – MoR NORTH AMERICA – YOURNAMEHERE explaining why you think you would be a good fit for the position to events@tarvalon.net, keeper@tarvalon.net and amyrlin@tarvalon.net. Applications are due by March 11, 2016.

Duties and Responsibilities
- Solicit proposals for each North American Event. Advise members of proposal requirements and aide in preparation of proposals as requested.
- Work with Amyrlin, Keeper, Shatayan, Director of E&C and Selection Committee to choose a location for each North American Event.
- Work with Local Liaison and Director of E&C to plan details of the event.
- Organize and Delegate. You will need to work with a team of committee leaders, committee members, local liaison, site contacts, and TarValon.Net executives, often at the same time.
- Crisis Management. No matter how much pre-planning you do, the unexpected will happen. Recognizing issues early and addressing them calmly and promptly is key.
- Share insights with other MoRs to ensure continually improving events.
- Attendance at both North American events each year.
Requirements
- Must be a member of any rank in good standing for at least one year.
- Must have attended at least one official real life event.
- Bonus points for attendance at more than one event, more than one kind of event (Anni vs. Fall Ball vs. Euro, etc.), and/or significant committee participation.
- Must be able and willing to travel to both North American events at your own expense.
- The event ticket is covered for MoR, but not transportation or other expenses.
- Must be professional.
- You represent our community with outside organisations such as lodging options and vendors, and potentially negotiate contracts with these groups.
- You also communicate regularly with our membership about serious topics, so you need to be clear in your communications.
- You are held accountable for the responsible management of the funds many of our members pay to attend events. Professionalism, high-performance, and self-starting are mandatory.
- Must be detail-oriented.
- You must be able to think logically through the entire event and all needs for members. Everything from transportation, food, activities, payments, registration, marketing, budgeting, materials, decorations, room assignments, negotiations with the site, etc.
- Must be organised and discreet.
- There is a lot of information to keep track of, including legal contracts with the facilities, schedules, and registration information including medical and person data which must be kept confidential.
- Must be able to dedicate at least 15 hours per week to this role.
- This role has some flexibility in when things must be done, but with the magnitude of work and balancing at least two events at any given time, the work load is significant.
