Seneschal

The Seneschal’s office handles the business side of our dream.

Seneschals are responsible for coordinating the administration and ensuring the proper and effective operation of the Society’s historical “game-side” re-creation. While the Seneschal is a very important position in any branch, it is essential to remember that the position is a part of a larger team of branch officers who make the SCA happen.

The office of the Seneschal is a facilitator of policy and procedure from the local to Corporate level. Successful Seneschals avail themselves of good interpersonal and diplomatic skills, attention to detail, and objective issue management. Seneschals must work with and through people, and their success is completely dependent on the goodwill and relationships they can manage and foster. These individuals compile monthly reports, run the officer’s meeting, sign contracts, maintain warrants, and more.

Here are just a few of their responsibilities:

• Monthly Reports to the Kingdom Seneschal and Baroness and Baron.
• Signing contracts for event spaces.
• Run the monthly meetings for the officers and populace.
• Be a signer on the bank account for the barony.
• Keep track of the warrants for the officers.
• Attend the annual Calendar meeting with the Baroness and Baron.
• You must have regular access to a computer, printer and be able to use Google groups and docs.
