Organized Play: New Faces, New Places

Organized Play Associate

About a month ago, we put out the call for an associate to join the organized play team. Our community heard the request and many folks sent in resumes. Alas, we could only choose one person to join our team. After some deliberation, we asked Alex Speidel, the venture-agent from Cleveland, Ohio. It will take a bit for him to relocate, but we expect to have him join us in Redmond before the end of the month. When he arrives, we’ll have him introduce himself in further detail. But for now, a huge thank you to all those who applied for the position, we appreciate your interest, time and effort expended in applying, and a huge welcome to Alex.

Regional Venture-Coordinators

We also have a change coming in the Regional Venture-Coordinator (RVC) ranks. Last August, we had a few of the original RVC team, Bob Jonquet and Del Collins, step back from the role as well as a relocation. Dan Simons moved from Germany to the USA. At that time, it was determined there was a need to rearranging the borders and add several new regions to better serve the organized play community. Looking back, it looks like there wasn’t an announcement of those changes, so we thought this blog the perfect time to rectify my omissions. A fully updated list of the regions appears here and on the Organzied Play website at www.organizedplayfoundation.org/organized-play-regions/.

  • Dominick Trascritti, VC Tampa, replaced Del as RVC Gulf.
  • Brent Bowser, lately VC Cincinnati, replaced Bob as RVC Great Lakes.
  • Nils Janson, VC Rhein Mein, replaced Dan as RVC Central Europe
  • Benôit Gros, Troy Schnack, Ian Hawthorne, Daniel Flood, and Jack Brown all stepped into RVC roles in new regions.

And now, we must say goodbye to Todd Morgan, as RVC Great Plains, as he moves into a new role organizing the Venture-Officer discord channel. O.J. Pinckert, VC Colorado Springs, agreed to step up to fill the RVC role. We wish Todd the best in his new endeavors and welcome O.J. to the RVC team!

Huge thank you to all the volunteers! Without their efforts, there would be no Society play. Three cheers for all they do!

For Francia, should we add Canada in the parentheses? It's because Quebec is far from Europe.
