Bookcases in the library of the University of Leiden, 1610

My time as Kingdom Minister of Arts and Science is coming to a close making it  time to find the next KMoAS. Ideally, my replacement will be found prior to Queen’s Prize so that the incoming Minister can assist and have time to transition before I step down, although I will be available to assist afterwards. Please reach out to me with any questions. Letters of interest should be submitted to  ArtsSciences@Calontir.org, Crown@Calontir.org, Heirs@calontir.org, and Seneschal@Calontir.org.

I would like to thank Master Jurgen for his time as the Martial Studies Deputy. Since he is moving to a new position, the Kingdom is in need of a new Martial Studies Deputy. Please reach out to Master Jurgen at martialstudies@calontir.org with any questions regarding the position. Letters of interest should be submitted to MartialStudies@Calontir.org, ArtsSciences@Calontir.org, Crown@Calontir.org, Heirs@calontir.org, and Seneschal@Calontir.org.

A&S Deputy Positions Open: Volunteers Requested

Hello everyone!

We have a few positions to fill in the Arts & Sciences Office. If you are interested in any of the below positions, please send me an email (artssciences@calontir.org) expressing your interest, any particular skills or experience you feel makes you a good fit for the role, and anything else relevant you’d like to include. There may be follow up questions/a zoom meeting depending upon interest in the positions.

Please have all Letters to me by 9/1/2020

Open positions:

A&S Minister Deputy: This would be my direct office deputy (the so-called “drop dead”) and would step in if I became unable to serve. Duties would include being my backup (so gaining a knowledge of the office will be important) and helping with quarterly reporting. This is a great opportunity for those who have held a local office and want to get more involved or who may consider applying the next time KMoAS is open (next June!)

Scheduler Deputy: Have you ever wondered how our big A&S competitions are scheduled to match judges and entrants? That would be this deputy. Help the kingdom in a specific and measurable way. A great candidate has excellent organizational skills and enjoys a good puzzle. Must be able to attend Queen’s Prize and Kingdom A&S to assist with on-site logistics. Be a part of making these important events exciting for all who attend.

Martial Studies Deputy: If you have an interest in both Martial Activities and how they are taught/scheduled/made available to the kingdom, this may be a perfect position for you. The deputy will be able to work closely with the Kingdom A&S minister, RUSH officer, and Martial leadership to promote and expand teaching across all martial areas. A great candidate would be a successful networker who has at least some basic experience with each of the Martial areas supported by the kingdom.

I hope to hear from you all. Even if you worry that you might not have all the experience in an area, I hope to hear from you. Knowing that you have interest lets us help give you opportunities to learn more and be involved with an area you are passionate about.

As always, please reach out to the email above if you have questions.

Kristine Nic Tallier

Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences
