We are seeking applications for the Office of Principal Herald of Avacal. My term as Sanguinaris Herald ends in December 2026. Although I will also be applying for a second term, I would like to see if there is anyone else interested in holding this position. I would be willing to continue to support the new officer as a deputy. Deadline for applications is October 31.
The Officer is both challenging and rewarding. You will coordinate and work with a great team of Heralds inside and outside our Kingdom.
The responsibilities of this office include:
*Kingdom officers are required to have active membership status with the Society.
*File quarterly reports from your officers and report them to Avacal Curia and the Society Herald, known as Laurel.
*Give good counsel to their Majesties and court regarding heraldic matters. This includes Kingdom awards, devices, precedence, ceremonies, information about the cultural aspects of the Society, and heraldic advice.
*Attend monthly decision meetings to determine the status of heraldic submissions.
*Recruiting and training new heralds is a way to grow the college and build a more significant knowledge base.
*Maintain a welcoming environment and abide by Society and Kingdom, laws and customs.
You are only expected to know and answer some questions but understand what resources are available and how to seek them out.
Please have a look at the Society Herald Admin Handbook for more questions.
