=#[[Administrative Structure= At present, the administrative structure of the Society is in the process of being normalized by efforts of Consuls. # The membership elects the members of the Board of Directors# The Board of Directors elects from its number the senior officers, and from the membership elects the minor officers.# The Board contracts with the Consuls for facilities and services.# The President names the chairmen of all committees, whether of the Board or of the Membership.# Committee Chairmen name the members of their committees, some of which may be non-members.# 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 ''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. There exist a variety of other structures that might be worth consideration: # Strong Executive Director, with a weak Board whose duties are reduced to contracting with the Executive Director.# Strong Board of Directors, with a weak staff, headed perhaps by an Office Manager.# Shared power between the Board of Directors and an Executive Director (similar to the present situation). In future, the Society needs a structure that is not dependent upon one or two people. There are three non-exclusive ways to approach this state: # Delegate duties as widely as possible, avoiding concentration of unrelated duties in any individual.# Document the process and procedures of each role in sufficient detail that a competent individual (with appropriate subject knowledge) would not how to proceed.# Identify mission-critical tasks and hire them done, either by outsourcing or hiring staff. ----]]
