Hello everyone,
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who attended both the Players Meeting and the Event Holders Council. Serving in this role within the community is no small undertaking. Making decisions that impact the entire community can feel daunting at times. However, once the meetings concluded, I was reminded exactly why we do this work: for the love of our community.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, stayed engaged, and remained respectful and focused. Your professionalism and kindness helped ensure that both meetings ran smoothly and productively. Thank you to those who paused to say “thank you” throughout the process, who approached conversations with respect, and who remained thoughtful even when decisions and discussions were complex. That spirit of gratitude and mutual respect makes all the difference. It’s what allows us to have hard conversations while still feeling united in purpose.
At the Players Meeting, we had 55 virtual participants and addressed 56 total proposals. Of those, 37 passed and advanced to the Event Holders Council.
At the Event Holders Council 44 eligible Event Holders were in attendance. We addressed pending CRB cases, reviewed 39 proposals (31 of which passed), and conducted a thorough review of our standing policies. As a result, we officially removed the COVID Standing Policy enacted on June 12, 2021, as well as the Modified Non-Com Rules, which have now been incorporated as a formal rule. We also voted in our new administrative teams (which can be found below!)
I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the team members who supported these efforts every step of the way and throughout both meetings.
Crystal W. — thank you for the many hours of preparation leading up to both meetings and for your steady support throughout. Thank you for helping steer conversations with clarity and care, making space for voices to be heard while keeping us moving forward. Your passion and dedication does not go unnoticed.
Nataliya K. — thank you for being an absolute rock star. Your help with counting hands and cards at both meetings, along with coordinating and organizing those joining virtually for CRB proceedings, ensured accuracy and kept everything on track.
Emma S. — thank you for assisting with counting at the Players Meeting, securing the room for the EHC, running the computer and always being one of my biggest supporters.
Anna R. and Kyle Y. — thank you both for jumping in last minute to assist with counting at the Players Meeting. Your willingness to step up wherever needed is deeply appreciated.
Keith C. - thank you for always giving me a safe space to talk things out and providing meaningful guidance especially leading up to the EHC, and for answering procedural questions on how certain things were handled last year
Tucker N. — thank you for helping talk through and clarify the CRB processes. Your insight and guidance were invaluable during those discussions.
Pi Fisher — thank you for answering my questions throughout the EHC and for being such a steady and knowledgeable resource.
I’d also like to thank everyone who stayed afterward to help clean up quickly following the in-person meeting. That extra effort and teamwork did not go unnoticed and is another example of the care people continue to show for our shared space and community.
It truly takes a village to carry out work of this scale, and I am so thankful to be surrounded by people who are willing to show up and give so generously of themselves.
Thank you all for your continued commitment to this community.
-Dani Lacasse
