What are Baronial Offices or Officers?
Baronial Officers serve the same purposes as officers within other organizations. Many clubs or groups elect a "president," a "secretary," or a "treasurer" to help run the club. Officers inside the Barony may have more unusual titles, but the goals are the same - to help things run smoothly.
Baronial Officers
Keeping any organization together is a lot of work. Each group within the SCA must be able to maintain proper functioning of the group. To this end each group designates officers to take charge of specific areas of responsibility. These officers serve at an administrative level. Within the Barony of the South Downs (and the Society for Creative Anachonism as a whole), individual members volunteer their time and talents as officers to help make things happen for everyone.
