What is the Executive Branch?
The Executive Branch houses those who report directly to the Board of Directors or the Officers at TarValon.Net, Inc. It consists of the Department Directors and the Officers. The structure of the Executive Branch was solidified after the Keeper of the Chronicles became the COO in 2006.

Department Directors
The staff at TarValon.Net are in seven Departments. Each department has a department Directors, who is responsible for their respective Department and for giving advice to the Officers, should they ask for it. They report directly to the Keeper, with the exception of the Director of Research and Records who reports to the Archivist. See each Department's page in the Membership Manuals for a description of each Department Director's duties.
Staff
Each Officer may have staff that serve directly underneath them; such staff are considered non-Departmental staff, not staff within the Executive branch. Such staff include the Hall and personal assistants.

Chain of Command in the Executive Branch
Flow chart detailing the chain of command for the Executive Branch
It is not appropriate to contact an Officer directly regarding any issue in the Tower unless all others under them in the Chain of Command have been accessed in turn and given the necessary time to reach a resolution. The Officers place their full confidence in the administrators and staff in all Departments, and are only to be contacted as a last resort.
