At its August 22, 2016 meeting the Board of Directors approved the development and implementation of an expanded
Board committee structure to encourage and facilitate transparency, participation in and understanding of Society
governance throughout the membership of the Society.
The Board shall establish Board committees to serve at the pleasure of the Board. Each of these committees will include
representatives of the membership-at-large of the Society, to be nominated by the Kingdoms. A request for nomination
process is expected to be in place for the initial committees in the 4th quarter of 2016. Committees to be established
include the following:
Finance and Audit – Mission: assist the Board’s oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial
reporting processes, the audit and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the qualifications and
independence of the Company’s independent auditor
Risk Management - Mission: Oversee insurance, legal, and related matters.
Nominating and Governance - Mission: recommend to the Board the persons to be nominated for
appointment as directors; recommend to the Board the directors to be appointed to each committee of the
Board; develop and recommend to the Board Society governance guidelines and policies
Communications – Mission: develop and oversee advertising; public relations; publications, social media and
other communications initiatives of the Society
Membership – Mission: grow and sustain membership in the Society; evaluate and oversee implementation of
programs and initiatives for membership support
The Board has also formed the following ad hoc committees to serve until their mission is completed in the discretion of
the Board:
Youth Activities – Mission: Completion of design and implementation of YAFA programs
Technology – Mission: Prepare 5-year technology development plan for Society
Peerage – Mission: Review proposals for the creation of new peerage
From time to time the Board may form other ad hoc committees for special projects. The Board has the authority to
dissolve or modify any committee or its membership at any time. Committee members serve at the pleasure of the Board,
subject to a 3-year term limit. Initial appointments may at the discretion of the Board be for staggered terms so that the
term of all such members of a committee do not expire at the same time. Committees will make recommendations to the
Board and give quarterly reports. Committee members will be appointed by the Board and Committee chairs designated
by the Board. Committee members at large will be nominated in response to a Request for Nomination (RFN) sent by
the Board to each Kingdom Seneschal, describing the mission of the committee and suggested minimum qualifications
for committee members. Kingdoms may then (within a defined period of time) nominate individuals in their Kingdom.
Nominations would be made by the sitting Crown with the advice and consent of the Kingdom Seneschal.

Tournament of Armies
A War-lord's
processional speech
Froth-decked and silent, Drakkars come.
Beast-headed, death-dealers, foes tremble and
quiver in their homes.
Mighty of arms, and skilled in battle,
they lay waste to their enemies.
WE RETURN !
Shadow-fanged, carrion-mad, the Wolf Pack prowls.
Hunters of the weak, these are not tame wolves
who dance to a drum!
Cower before them and hope you survive!
WE RETURN !
Great armies, Warlord-led! Do you come to test your foes as a
measure of your own greatness?
We will be your ruler!
As sure as the deluge washes all before it away to the sea,
WE RETURN !
As sure as the winter touch will again chill your blood, we return!
As sure as war shakes the land, we return!
As death comes -
WE RETURN !
