Kamjin, or Other Mav—for we shall never faulter so much as to allow his reclamation of the name—has been an incredible asset since joining the Chamber as one of my Hands. From the onset, he has taken his role of "member defense" to heart, going so far as to challenge the Chamber on more than one occasion to ensure complete certainty and even taking the initiative to reach out to members that are eligible to request the removal of their Letter of Reprimands to inform them as such. Now, this of course never guaranteed removal, but it was a proactive measure to better the experience of the members involved. That shows his member-focused attitude, which has been a great asset to this office. He has continued to be a measured voice in our discussions, refusing to believe anything until all the facts are laid out and always allowing for the "maybe" until there was no question remaining.

That's what I appreciate about Kamjin. He is a walking reality check. It keeps the office balanced and the focus where it should be. The Chamber, as we see it, is not meant to be punitive. It's meant to be preventative. Sometimes that doesn't work out, but he's always trying to make sure we are functioning in a manner that helps stop problems before they ever become something case-worthy. I'm glad to have that presence, and I'm glad to offer my praise and recognition to this award. Congrats, old man.
