History

The Welcoming Committee was formed after Saminda Sedai stepped down and the position of New Member Services Coordinator was discontinued. In January 2015, the roles were changed to give specific functions of Greeter, Scribe and Renaissance man/woman (later renamed as City Architect) and increased from a maximum of 4 members to 5. The Friendly Face Team operates as a volunteer portion of the Welcoming Committee.
