Changes

The chivalric activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are largely conducted by the [[Chivalry Committee]]. This consists of a Chairman appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the [[President]], and such committee members as said Chairman may appoint, subject to the [[Policies|Policy on Committee Membership]].

Under a chairman named by the President, members with knowledge in this field serve primarily as advisers to the [[Board]]. Their particular duties include making recommendations on the [[Recognition of Recognized Orders of Chivalry]] (and similar organizations), and on recognition of individuals' membership and rank in those organizations. They also assist the [[Assistant Webmaster for ENS]] in maintaining the list of commonly used postnominals.

==Augustan Society Members who hold academic degrees or fellowships in learned societies may petition for the Society to recognize their achievements, which will permit the Society's use of the appropriate postnominals and other honorifics. There is no charge for such reviews, which are conducted by [[List of Postnominals UsedHeadquarters Staff]]==, though they may call on various departments for support as felt needed.

This list, maintained by the [[Webmaster]] in consultation with the [[Chivalry Committee]] and others, shows postnominals that have been used by the Society at some point. They include many ranks in [[Recognized Orders of Chivalry]], and many other postnominals including honorific, chivalric, academic, religious, professional, fellowship, and military honors. It is not suggested that this is a complete listing of such, only those the Society has found it has need of. Neither does inclusion in this list suggest that these postnominals or the Orders associated with them are ''presently'' recognized by the Society. ==The [[Noble Company of the Rose|The Noble Company of the Rose]]== Under a ''[[Magister Rosae]]'' elected by its members and a [[Rose Council|council]] appointed by him, this subsidiary of Society is an international confraternity of knights and dames (plus a few esquires) dedicated to cordial relations between the Orders, and to maintenance of a [[Chapel of the Rose|chapel]] at Society [[Headquarters]] (at those times when a public Headquarters exists). The Noble Company is not an order of chivalry, nor should any claim to such be countenanced.
