The Society of Descendants of Ireland(SDI), 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 societySDI, it is only required that he be a Member of The Augustan Society.
The Dean of the SDI is responsible for:
* Establishing and recommending amendments to the Charter of the societySDI, for confirmation by the [[Board]];* Publicizing the existence of and means of joining the societySDI;* Informing members of the activities of the societySDI;* Maintaining the web page on the societySDI, which may be expanded in cooperation with the [[Assistant Webmaster for ENS]];
* Soliciting articles on the subjects of Ireland, Irish Kings and High Kings, and descents from Ireland for ''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 SDI, in consultation with the [[Assistant Treasurer]] and the Finance Committee; and* Submitting a report to the Board on the activities of the society SDI 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 once was, and could be again. If done, this should include material that is for some reason not appropriate for either ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'' or ''[[Augustæum]]''.
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 society; when there are fifty50, he must.
