Thanks to everyone who has nominated and volunteered to help lead and grow our kin. Everyone has been amazing in helping us find our legs in LOTRO and make this an awesome kin and community. That being said, it's finally time to reveal our next course of action.
Briallan, Trower and I have been discussing the kin's future for the past few days. We are still a small kin relative to other more active groups on LOTRO, and the involvement in our search for leadership, while encouraging, has left us some changes to be made. We intended to create three leadership positions, plus several officers based on gameplay time and location. Based on the nominations, here's our list of nominees:
Leader:
Siltharan
Briallan
Trower (Withdrawn)
Officer:
Trower (Website maintenance)
Pinestro
Brunwing
Gilhilde
Duiloras
Given the number of people who have volunteered or accepted nominations in this process, it is unnecessary to hold elections at this point. In order to grow our kin and help us move along, we need to create a solid frame of leadership and officers to show to the rest of Landroval and LOTRO all that we can be.
In a discussion with Trower and Briallan, we decided that Bri and I would become co-leaders of the kin, and Trower would become one of our officers responsible for website maintenance and other duties. Only a leader and a successor are recognized within LOTRO, designations that will largely be unimportant with our co-leadership. We decided that I shall step up as the designated leader through LOTRO's kin system, and Briallan shall be the successor. We are looking forward to helping Courserrim grow and become a great kin in the LOTRO community, and are excited for this opportunity!
All of the officers who were nominated or stepped up to volunteer will be considered officers of the kin, pursuant to the details in our policies. Thank you again for your help in building and improving our community! We will still keep officer and leadership positions open, and fill them as we grow and as people continue to volunteer their services.
There will be threads forthcoming for each of our leaders and officers to introduce themselves to the kin and present their ideas for the future of Courserrim. As we started out, we shall continue to be a kin led by group discussion and decision-making, and everyone will have a valuable role from this point forward in building this kin into what we all hope it can become.
Forth Courserrim!
