Call it what you like – Board of Directorship, Group of Executives, Awards Parliament, The Clowncil – but the main function of this group would be to ensure an equitable and successful distribution of tasks and responsibilities. For instance, while I may formally carry the position of Director and work to coordinate the Committee’s formation and activities, I might not be the one to run meetings, or tally results to distribute. I might instead choose to focus on community outreach and preparation for the ceremony as my primary tasks. In this way, I could be seen as a member of group leadership, rather than “The Director.” Moving into this mode would allow a support system between users, wherein they can contribute to Awards Directorship with their individual strengths while also having the space to apply their energy where they feel most comfortable. It would also provide greater support in all areas, because without anyone being spread too thin, they could have more opportunity to help another leader who needs support. Truthfully, this is not much different from the systems that are already in place – current Awards Consultants are capable of sharing responsibilities in tasks, should the Director seek them out for assistance. The intent here, then, is to put more emphasis on a distribution of responsibilities, ensuring that this is directly integrated to our structure rather than acting as an emergency resource to fall back on.

Due to the nature of this arrangement, we also want to be transparent that we have not currently decided the other members who will be part of this leadership group. We are not yet aware of who will be fulfilling which responsibilities, a decision process that, should we be elected, we will approach moving into next year, as we will be trying to draw from people interested in the Awards Committee and who are aiming to participate with a greater level of work in Awards.
Due to the nature of this arrangement, we also want to be transparent about the other members who we are considering as part of this leadership group. After all, you aren’t just voting for two of us as your directors – you’re really voting for all of us! <br>
This is not a finalized list of names, and may be subject to change. Additionally, we are not yet aware of who will be fulfilling which responsibilities, a decision process that, should we be elected, we will approach moving into next year. That being said, at this time, our leadership will include: <br>
*{{User|Roserade}}
*{{User|Superchao}}
*{{User|Waluigi Time}}
*{{User|Hooded Pitohui}}
*{{User|Lakituthequick}}
*{{User|Turboo}}
*{{User|GBAToad|GBA}}


Ultimately, we hope that this structural change will have inherent benefits for everyone involved in the Committee, and might serve as a sustainability model for future Awards seasons to come. Of course, as with any new framework, our setup will experience growing pains, so please feel free to ask us questions or start up a dialogue if you’d like to hear more or discuss concerns!
