[MR] New Guild Liaison - Baroness Olwen!

[Lara Coutinho]

Atlantia’s New Guild Liaison!

Atlantia’s collection of guilds is exciting, and now we have a new officer
in the MOAS department to help! Baroness Olwen has stepped up to assist
Atlantia’s people with finding and engaging with her guilds. Lord Alan
MacFarlane has been working in this position for a few months and is ready
to pass it on to another helper. Thank you for your service, Alan and Olwen!

The current list of guilds can be found at this webpage:

Guilds in the SCA have a few aspects all SCAdians should be aware of.

   1.

   Guilds are unofficial entities much like households.
   2.

   Guilds are self-defined.
   3.

   Guilds can request approval of their charter (their defining document)
   by the Crown or a Coronet if they wish. This approval is only a blessing
   and does not involve kingdom law or policy.


Guilds are groups of people gathering around any topic. Their self-defined
nature can make building and expanding a mysterious task.

The Guild Liaison is a Deputy of the Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences
in Atlantia. This person works towards reliable communication between the
guilds and the people of Atlantia, and this includes keeping track of a
single leader or Point of Contact for each guild.  This person can also
assist by keeping track of guild activities and reporting them quarterly to
the KMOAS. These activities can be included in the quarterly report sent to
SCA Inc. describing the overall health of the A&S community in Atlantia.

For any support regarding guilds in Atlantia, please reach out to Baroness
Olwen via guilds AT moas.atlantia.sca.org.  Thanks to Baroness Olwen for
her service!

Sincerely yours,
Dame Sophia the Orange, Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences
