Every year on May 4th, we award Seals of Loyalty to members nominated by the DC and Consuls--typically one per DC, two per CON. Normally I would have asked for those nominations last week, but this year we're doing something different. In November 2015 (we used to do SoLs twice a year), eagerly awaiting the release of The Force Awakens, Sarin awarded SoLs to all Clanned and positioned members in the club. This year, we're taking a page out of Sarin's book: every member of the club who has logged into the website between January 1, 2025 and May 4, 2025 will receive a Seal of Loyalty. That this club has not just lasted but thrived for 30 years is a remarkable testament to our community, the leaders at all levels who have kept the ship on course, and especially our members who keep engaging year after year. Thank you and congratulations, everyone!

How does an inarguably successful Consul follow up their last recognition? By never taking their foot off the gas.

Selika, or Slags as I know them, has spent the last year doing what we have come to know them for: leading Plagueis with a steady hand and a meticulously administrative approach. While not necessarily taking the point role themself, Selika has guided their Summit leadership in the running of two competition events: Ascending Conflict and Aliso Summer Festival. The former was a short-run competition alongside their Proconsul while the latter was the first major event experience for two of the newer summit leaders. This kind of oversight requires heavy attention and guidance to ensure success for everyone involved, from the participants to the organizers themselves as they learn what's involved and how to be successful. Beyond that, as always, the successful and far-reaching Pro Bowl event was planned and coordinated with Selika as a major driving force as they have remained to be over the years.

And that might all sound boring. It's discussions and planning and a whole lot of work that doesn't get picked up by the site. Yet, its effects can be seen with the participation and engagement Plagueis continues to sustain. It even reaches across borders with the "Team CON" chat that coordinates efforts and support between the various Consuls, which could be argued to be invaluable with the onboarding of several new Consuls in the past year. This is an amazing demonstration of collaboration as leaders can share their experiences and successes to ensure everyone is able to operate at a similar level, providing consistency of results across the various streams of our club.

In an impressive showing of administrative organization, Selika even developed a personal activity matrix that exists outside the site to include event-specific participation numbers with direct links to the assessment tool as well as recognition recommendations that can be assigned out to various members of staff to take point on. This sheet is one that even caught my interest and will be promptly stoledopted to be added to general Consul resources as a strong planning/tracking tool.

For your continued existence as a pillar amongst not only Plagueis, but the Consuls at large, I am more than happy to recognize Selika's continued efforts. Congratulations.
