Hello! I am
Katie, current Thane of Diplomatic Officers and Missions, and I am re-running for this position. I'm running again because I've heavily enjoyed my time as Thane over this department and think that my changes have done very well to revive the Ambassador program. Some things I want to accomplish over this next term:
- Find another activity for ambassadors to participate in other than posting foreign updates.
- Continue to encourage ambassadors to check in on their assignments every so often.
- Find tasks for the thane secretary.
I have fulfilled my mandate for the previous term. I implemented an entirely new ranking system, backed by point prizes to the Monarch's Game Bag, and have successfully facilitated the posting of 2 foreign updates to all embassy regions.
I don't have much foreign affairs experience from before my time in this position. However, ever since I was appointed in early December, I've completely revived an entire program, created interest among the community in being an ambassador, made sure that foreign updates are posted promptly, and managed the point-prize system as well as the dates at which ambassadors are to receive them. Not only this, but I have overseen the establishment of embassies with 2 regions and been responsible for 5 regions maximum during my term, as well as serving as interim Jarl of Foreign Affairs during Chanku's leave of absence and also contributing to other parts of the FA department with my 4 total articles in 3 separate Orendi.
Initially, I was concerned that with the start of the school year I would not have enough time to dedicate to this position. However, I know now that a) the heavy lifting that needed to be done was all completed during December, and b) There is more than enough time on weekends and between classes to get things done.
As for any potential conflicts of interest, I am currently a citizen in four other regions:
Cynosure, New United Kingdom, The Britannian Kingdom and
Forest. In
Cynosure I hold the WA Delegacy and execute tasks related to that position within their government, and in
New United Kingdom I am Culture Secretary and Queen-consort. Other than these, I am not currently involved in any other NS region or organization.
Thank you all so much for reading my campaign! If y'all have any questions, feel more than free to post them in this thread, private message me on the forum, or contact me on Discord with the Discord identifier
