After more than 13 years at this position, Eniara Sedai will be stepping down as Assistant to the Director of Research and Records. I would like to thank her for her enormous dedication to the department and for all the work she has put in! The next person chosen definitely has big shoes to fill.
After some deliberation, I decided to add some changes to this position and give opportunity for more people to serve as my assistant in time. It was mentioned in the volunteering thread in Community Feedback that some sort of "apprenticeship" might be best for people to gain more confidence and knowledge about certain positions. My hope is that this opportunity might serve as some sort of "experience" if you will, not really an "apprenticeship" per se. With that said, I decided for this position to transition into a 12 month rotation term.
