View source for Dean of the SDC

The Society of Descendants of the Conquest (SDC), a dependency of The Augustan Society, Inc., is lead by a [[Committee Chairmen|Dean]] appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the [[President]]. While it is greatly preferred that the Dean be a member of this society, it is only required that he be a Member of The Augustan Society.

The '''Dean of the SDC''' is responsible for:

* Establishing and recommending amendments to the Charter of the society, for confirmation by the [[Board]];
* Publicizing the existence of and means of joining the SDC;
* Informing members of the activities of the SDC;
* Maintaining the web page on the SDC, which may be expanded in cooperation with the [[Assistant Webmaster for ENS]];
* Soliciting articles on the subjects of William the Conqueror, his Companions, the Conquest generally, and descents from William and his Companions for ''[[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]'';
* Advising the [[Librarian]] on the selection of books and other materials on these subjects;
* Serving on the [[Finance Committee]];
* Developing the annual budget for the SDC, in consultation with the Finance Committee; and
* Submitting a report to the [[Board]] on the activities of the society annually in July, and at other times when requested.

General responsibilities for Deans are described on the page on [[Committee Chairmen]].

While there is not presently a publication by and for this group and topic, there could be. If done, this should include material that is for some reason not appropriate for either ''[[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]'' or ''[[August&aelig;um]]''.

When there are at least five Augustans in [[Good Standing]] among the members, the Dean may call for elections to his office; when there are ten, he must. When there are 25, he may propose to the Board a Council to govern the SDC; when there are 50, he must.
