2017 Awards

Amyrlin's Awards

Volunteer of the Year: Ne'mireth Delvar

Ne’Mireth came into the Department of Marketing like a storm, and she’s only rarely slowed down. She’s done so much with the way Social Marketing functions. I don’t know where she finds the energy to be so passionate about social media and marketing in her real life job and then come to TarValon.Net and still have that energy, but I’m so grateful that she does, and that she’s been so willing to contribute in this way to our community.

Philanthropy: Onis O'Leia

For as long as Onis has been a member, she has been giving to the community. She serves in various roles both for the site and for her Ajah. When I looked back at donations over the last five years, i wasn’t surprised to see her name show up every single year. Onis has a generous spirit, and she gives freely and consistently of her time as a member of the community and as a friend.

Unsung Servant: Kitan Tataru

Kitan does so much in the TarValon.Net community, and I am so proud to be able to award her the Unsung Servant award. She has done so much over her time as a member, it’s hard to know where to look. Kitan is a woman of passion, a woman who dedicates herself to those around her with no qualms, and she is always looking to support her friends, her ajah, and her community. She gives of her time, her money, her resources. Kitan is truly an inspiration to me, and I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more.

Member of the Year: Melisande Arneil

Melisande has been a member for a long time, and in her time at TarValon.Net, she has held many positions, from Head of the Green Ajah to chat op to Membership Activities Coordinator. She volunteered for the Membership Activities Coordinator role last year, and she has been helping keep all the Directors and Officers in line and on time, while making up the role as she goes along. She also acted as co-Local Liaison for Fall Ball Calgary. I’m so glad to be able to recognize Meli for all her hard work over the years, and to say thank you.

Keeper's Awards

Extraordinary Service: Erin al'Denael

Erin has been a long standing member of our Tech department, serving in pretty much every capacity one can in the department, most recently as one of our Masters of the Watch. During our migration from vB4 to Xenforo, she was one of the key architects of the project, working extra hours both with Mendo and on her own to help make the transition as seamless as possible. (Along with being a member of our Community Outreach team!) Her extensive experience throughout all her roles within our Tech department are very much appreciated!

Staff Member of the Year: Elanda Tonil

Elanda has been part of the OATS team for a few months now, and most recently made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of her team and the community by tackling the counting of the Spamathon threads for Shaoman. This, along with her dedication to the community by also serving as Soul of her Ajah and as part of the Moderation team contributes to the overall betterment of the community, and we are thankful for all of her efforts!

Non Membership Administrator of the Year: Alora Sionn

Alora has been our Outreach Activities Coordinator for about a year now, planning and coordinating all of the fun events and little details that go into online events, such as Shaoman, Beltine and Feast of Fools, but the little touches as well, such as birthday greetings from our favorite Trolloc Narg and visits from the various fairies and characters that go along with our festivities. She is a bright, energetic part of our Outreach team, and we're glad to have her in this role!

Membership Administrator of the Year: Asandra al'Terra

Asandra stepped into the role after our prior Mayor had to step down unexpectedly due to RL circumstances- without missing a beat, she dove headfirst into her new role, tackling her responsibilities with a wonderful enthusiasm and bringing some really great ideas for interaction with her membership group to bear. She makes our newest members feel right at home, and has been a great asset to the Membership Admin community!

Moderator of the Year: Aduiavas Ida

Aduiavas has been part of our Moderator team in the Library Forums- specifically, in the Book Discussion forums- for about two and a half years now, and is one of our more seasoned Mods. During her tenure, she's been wonderfully efficient and diligent with keeping things running smoothly in those fora, which is definitely important for a community that was built around, well, books, and we're always glad to see her reapply each term to continue on!
