Primary reason

Ira didn't take long after joining years ago to hop into leadership roles as a BTL and a Magistrate supporting the community and looking back on his career and where he's been he hasn't let up either. As I look back on the multiple sacramental awards he has received, as well as the merit medals on top of it, and all the awards he has received across his long career in the DJB, I read of someone who constantly looked for opportunities to improve the experience for other members be it in gaming, fiction or whatever he could set his mind to. In comparing all his accomplishments and contributions and not letting up since his promotion to Equite 4 some time ago, it's hard not to see Ira as an Elder more than an Equite for all he's done, and recommend this promotion. Congratulations.

Additional reasons

Ira, or Uji as he was known for most of his career, is one of those rare leaders in the club who embodies a deep, unrelentingly selfless, drive to improve the experience of everyday members with unimpeachable professionalism. Within the gaming community, he strives to bring people from across the club together and within a unit he drives the summit to be their best. These characteristics are plain when one looks at the array of awards he has earned in his career with glowing recommendations on behalf of two clan summits and two dark council offices. From the units he’s served in, the dark council offices he’s worked for to the communities he’s given of himself to make warmer, welcoming and fun Uji has made an impact across the club.

Focusing in on Uji’s contributions as a clan leader and individual member, his most recent sacramental awards an amethyst kukri and two sapphire blades tell the story of a leader who volunteers without hesitation and sets a prime example in content creation and taking care of members. Uji is a producer first, creating content for other members to enjoy organizing 54 competitions since reaching the pinnacle Equite rank and creating the Consular Conclave house almost from scratch during our recent reorganization. As an individual member, he leads from the front with competition entries, crescents and clusters from all facets of DJB activity. In fact, the raw metrics of his individual activity since his last promotion are staggering; 414 competition submissions with 5 Nova, 90 Crescents and thousands of clusters of all types.

Elders are those who have left their mark on the club for the benefit of others and there is no question that Uji has left his mark. On behalf of the gaming community, Odan-Urr and the entire club, thank you for everything you do!

Ira has been a solid member for some time in COU. As AED he helped keep House Sunrider active and moving forward, then as we restructured the Clan, he gave life to our Consular House as its QUA. Ira is a self-motivated and charismatic leader and one we wish we could make copies of. Thank you Ira for all the work you’ve done. Congratulations on your promotion to Elder!
