> For years, the College has remained just a smidge outside the parameters of the rest of the offices, as warrants were issued without term limits.  Well, that is now changing.  From now on, heralds will be warranted on a 2-year term basis, just like any other office, and a primary branch herald can not hold the office more than 2 terms. 
> 
> Holding over for many years in a group office can lead to complacency and stagnation, both of the herald and the group.  If your group knows they have to replace you in a year, then it's more likely that people will start thinking about maybe taking the job, whereas if they know you'll just remain indefinitely, then you see less effort to become involved...  This also allows newer people the opportunity to see if this is a field they would be interested in pursuing.
> 
> So, if you are the primary herald for your group and you have been in office 4 years or longer, it's time to transition the job to somebody else.  Since this is such a new concept, I'm making a deadline of six months from March 1st to allow time for group heralds to get replacements.
> 
> To recap, all _primary_ group heralds who have served 4 years or more, have until September 1st to change over their office, at which time, they will become at-large heralds with a fresh, new warrant.  And all heralds will be going to a 2-year term warrant.
> 
> As we finish updating the roster, we are putting the warrant expiration dates in.  Feel free to take a gander at http://herald.atlantia.sca.org/roster/index.htm    The roster is not in absolute final form, as I am still awaiting responses from some of the groups (and I'm sure there's the occasional at-large who still hasn't checked in).  But we're getting there!
