==Overview==
The Master/Mistress of Revels - Europe was an [[Admin]] level role responsible for planning our large-scale European events each year, traditionally held in the summer.

This person was a member of the [[Department of Events and Conferences]] team, and worked with the staff of the department and event volunteers to plan Euro events, end to end. Each event was approximately a 15 month process, from solicitation of proposals, selection of location and facilities, contracting with site, registration & administration, and planning of the event schedule itself. The MoR-Euro would also help to develop the MoR manual with what he/she learned during training.

===Chain of Command===
The Master/Mistress of Revels-Europe reported directly to the [[Director of Events and Conferences]]. 

The Local Liaisons and committee groups for each event reported to the Master/Mistress of Revels.

==Duties and Responsibilities==
*Solicit proposals for each European Event. Advise members of proposal requirements and aide in preparation of proposals as requested.
*Work with {{Amyrlin}}, {{Keeper}}, [[Director of Events and Conferences]], and Selection Committee to choose location for each European Event.
*Work with Local Liaison and Director of E&C to plan details of event.
*Organize and Delegate. You will be working with a strong team of committee leaders, committee members, local liaison, site contacts, and Tower execs who can all help you. Making sure to use them to the benefit of the event and giving them appropriate work is what enables our events to happen.
*Crisis Management. No matter how much pre-planning you do, the unexpected will happen. Recognizing issues early and addressing them calmly and promptly is key.
*Share learnings with other MoRs to ensure continually improving events. 

==Expectations==
===Time Commitment===
*Must be able to dedicate at least 15 hours per week to this role. This role has some flexibility in when things must be done, but with the magnitude of work and balancing at least two events at any given time, the work load is significant.

==Qualifications==
*Must have attended at least one official real life event. Helpful, but not required, is attendance at more than one event. Even better is attendance at more than one kind of event (Summer Euro vs Winter Euro vs Anni, etc.). Better still is serving as staff of an event through committee work or similar.
*Must be a member in good standing for at least one year (you need NOT be a Tower Sworn).
*Must be able and willing to travel to each European event at your own expense. Cost of tower event ("event ticket") is covered for MoR, but not transportation, non-event, etc. expenses.
*Must be professional. Responsibilities of this role include representing our community with outside organizations such as lodging options and vendors, and potentially negotiating contracts with these groups. In addition you are held accountable for the responsible management of the funds many of our members pay to attend events. Professionalism, high-performance, and self-starting are mandatory.
*Must be detail-oriented. You must be able to think logically through the entire event and all needs for members. Everything from transportation, food, activities, payments, registration, marketing, budgeting, materials, decorations, room assignments, negotiations with the site, etc. Almost all of the MoR work is done well in advance of the event.
*Must be organized and discreet. There is a lot of information to keep track of, including legal contracts with the facilities, schedules, and registration information including medical and personal data which must be kept confidential.

==History==
This position was created in February 2006. In November 2009, it was split into two new roles, [[Master/Mistress of Revels (Continental Europe)]] and [[Master/Mistress of Revels (Britain and Ireland)]]. At the [[Winter 2016 Admin Meeting]] the decision was made to merge the two roles of MoR-B&I and MoR-CE back into the one role of MoR-Europe.

The position was officially retired in January 2024.
