General

The department was formed after the 2004 Admin Meeting, initially under the purview of the Amyrlin Seat. The Department of Administration was initially created to oversee the business, legal, financial, and record-keeping aspects of the community. It was initially led by Val a'Shain but when he stepped down as Master at Arms, and with the consequent re-organization of some departments, it gained its first director, Arisaema Draconis. In January 2016, after the Winter 2016 Admin Meeting, the Department of Administration was disbanded.

2004

The Department of Administration was created at the 2004 Admin Meeting as one of the first five departments in a brand new departmental structure for the community.

2006

The duties of the position were delegated to the Department of Administration and the Department of Membership. The role of Director of Administration was created and Arisaema Draconis was appointed to fill the position.

2007

Tinnlin Fundon replaced Eniara Kisharad as Treasurer. Gracienda al'Vonde replaced Jaimes Al'Nor as the Financial Advisor. The department worked on the incorporation of TarValon.Net as a non-profit but did not complete the project during 2007.

2008

The Department of Real Life Services was disbanded and its functions were moved into the Department of Administration.

2009

The duties of overseeing philanthropy and events were taken out of the Department of Administration and the Department of Philanthropy and Department of Events and Conferences were created to house them. Arisaema Draconis became the Chief Financial Officer under the name of Shatayan, and the financial duties were removed from the Department of Administration.
