'''Administrative Structure'''
At present, the administrative structure of the Society is in the process of being normalized by efforts of [[Consuls]]. These efforts are not widely understood and are therefore often unappreciated.
# The membership elects the members of the [[Board|Board of Directors]]
# The Board of Directors elects from its number the senior [[Elected Officers|Officers]], and from the membership elects the minor officers.
# The Board contracts with the Consuls for facilities and services.
# The [[President]] names the [[Committee Chairmen|Chairmen]] of all principal committees, whether of the Board or of the Membership.# Committee Chairmen name the members of their committees, some a minority of which may be non-members.# Committee Chairmen name the Chairmen of any Sub-Committees assigned to them.
# The [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]] is headed by the President, who names the officers from that group's membership, with Board confirmation.
# The [[Noble Company of the Rose]] is headed by a the ''[[Magister Rosae]]'' who is elected from that groups membership by those members, with Board confirmation.
# The officers of the Noble Company of the Rose are named by the ''Magister Rosae'', with Board confirmation.
# Document the process and procedures of each role in sufficient detail that a competent individual (with appropriate subject knowledge) would know how to proceed.
# Identify mission-critical tasks and hire them done, either by outsourcing or hiring staff.
In the short term, Consuls will work to shed themselves of all responsibilities that do not have to be done at Headquarters, followed by those that are only more convenient if done at Headquarters. The Board should expect to receive these duties, and will have the task of finding volunteers, reallocating staff, or allowing those programs to become dormant.
