Unfortunately, Tsubasa's real life has taken an unexpected turn. :( At this time, she is stepping down as our Mistress of Novices in order to deal with that. I'm very sad that we didn't get a chance to work together longer Tsu, you're a lovely woman.


We will need a new Mistress of Novices. Please see below if you are interested in applying.


Overview
Mistress of Novices is an administrative position in the Department of Membership. This position focuses on handling all aspects of a novice's life in the Tower. You'll also be called upon to provide counsel to the Director of Membership and the Officers.

Requirements

You must be a female Senior Member for at least six months.

Knowledge of the Bylaws and Member Manual are a plus; if you don't know them, you will learn them. Tact, diplomacy, and discretion are a must in this position, as you'll be privy to information that normal members are not!

Positions in the Department of Membership run in 18 month terms. You should plan on being able to serve the full term, although we do know that sometimes events in our real lives make this impossible.

Duties and Responsibilities

--Provide counsel to the administration as needed
--Keep track of where novices are at and send raising packets as necessary.
--Manage the female mentorship program.
--Provide the first line of defense when membership problems with novices arise
--Work with the Director and other membership admins when inter-group problems arise
--Moderate the three forums associated with novices
--Moderate the usergroups associated with novices
--Build morale and activity for the novices and within the Novice Halls
--Work to coordinate plans to celebrate community-wide festivals and freedays
--Write quarterly reports to the Director, Keeper, and Amyrlin about your novices
--Anything and everything I've forgotten that deals with novices

Please send an email to amyrlin@tarvalon.net, keeper@tarvalon.net, and membership@tarvalon.net with the subject "APPLICATION - MISTRESS OF NOVICES - YOUR NAME HERE" by February 13, 2011. Please include why you think you'd be a good Mistress of Novices and leader for your group, and any other information that we should consider including ideas you have for the position and any thoughts for the future.

I'm sorry we didn't get to know each other while you were MON, Tsubasa Sedai :curtsey Best wishes with whatever is keeping you busy IRL. As for whoever applies for MON, I hope your policy on pranksters is on the easy going side because this bunch of novices kinda have a love for it! :evil

Not that I'm that way... :halo

Sorry this big new group of novices didn't get to know you better Tsu Sedai! And best wishes for whatever it is you're dealing with in RL. There are a bunch of gifts waiting for you in your office to take away as leaving pressies! And (sorry in advance for this small thread hijack, but) I need to ask you how many times a recruit can curtsey before his thighs hurt. Please see the little yellow square in my signature for the beginnings of an explanation for this question :indifferent:

I hope we get a lot of good applicants for MoN! Not that us Novices are getting in to trouble while we're (sorta) unsupervised.... we would never do anything like, say, turn the MoN's office into a circus :look:

A circus? *pfft* NEVER! We're not complete animals after all. We're good, polite, reserved young women who haven't yet sworn on the oath rod. :evil *hides the swords she stole for swallowing behind her back*

My FOURTH MoN is stepping down? :(
Light, I`m beginning to think this position is cursed! (something like Defense against the Dark arts teacher in Harry Potter :look: )

Anyway, good luck with everything Tsu Sedai! :)
And good luck to our future MoN! :)
