Society for Creative Anachronism

The following corporate deputies are sought to support the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Office in delivering initiatives to support the Society.

Corporate DEIB Deputy: Project Implementation

Role and Responsibilities:

This officer will be responsible for working with and reporting to the SCA DEIB officer to deliver on the Board of Directors initiative requiring kingdoms to publish and track accessibility features for the sites we use for events. This officer will own the implementation strategy for rolling this out consistently across an organization with a global footprint. This office will lead a working group of global accessibility Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) as well as kingdom DEIB officers and kingdom Seneschals for the few kingdoms without DEIB officers.

Moving forward DEIB officers at the Kingdom level will have significant scope to deliver on Board approved initiatives that are for ALL kingdoms. Kingdoms without DEIB officer are not exempt from these initiatives so it will fall to the Kingdom Seneschals of the kingdoms without DEIB roles to provide someone with delegated authority to participate in these working groups.

Desired, but not required experience for this role:

Knowledge working in the space of Accessibility – ideally a broad knowledge of global accessibility requirements across all forms of accommodation
DEIB experience/ certifications
A deep understanding of Change Management processes
Project implementation experience
Stellar organization skills
Great communicator
Comfort with dissent as not everyone values DEIB work equally

This officer will be responsible for working with the SCA DEIB officer to deliver on the Board of Directors initiative requiring all officers at the corporate, society, board, and kingdom level – including royalty – to take a prescribed set of trainings to prepare them to manage people in a rapidly changing, and often confusing, pro-DEIB environment. This officer will own the development and implementation strategy for rolling this out consistently across an organization with a global footprint. This office will lead a working group of global DEIB Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) as well as kingdom DEIB officers and kingdom Seneschals for the few kingdoms without DEIB officers.

Moving forward DEIB officers at the Kingdom level will have significant scope to deliver on Board approved initiatives that are for ALL kingdoms. Kingdoms without DEIB officers are not exempt from these initiatives, so it will fall to the Kingdom Seneschals of the kingdoms’ without DEIB roles to provide someone with delegated authority to participate in these working groups lead by this office.
