National Officers
The National Officers are club officers who operate on the national level. These are the officers who enact club-wide policy, direct national initiatives, keep our tech up to date, etc. Click on the links below to learn more about the various national offices.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors are a body that is responsible for high level administrative decisions regarding the club, particularly those which affect the financial and legal needs and responsibilities of the club, such as respecting copyright laws and so on. They also work closely with the primary national officers to advise on or be advised on various national level initiatives and needs.
National Storyteller (NST)
The National Storyteller is the chief officer in charge of non-player-generated plot in the various venues operated by the club. Each venue has its own Assistant National Storyteller, so the aNST Vampire: The Requiem is probably going to be a different person than the aNST Mage: The Ascension . In addition to controlling national plots, the NST is in charge of making sure his or her subordinate Storytellers are on the same page, as well as coordinating plots that cross regional lines.
