Zuza has been an absolute whirlwind of activity, racking up more than enough Medal XP for a Ruby Scepter over the last year while participating in over 250 competitions, writing hundreds of thousands of words, and serving on the HM staff as well as BTL in Arcona. Congrats, Zuza!

Primary reason

Zuza stepped up as Consul during a challenging period and immediately addressed member concerns, resolved pressing issues, and formed a new leadership team. She effectively managed the transition, tying up unfinished projects and storylines from the previous summit. Additionally, she demonstrated exceptional coordination skills by collaborating with three other clan summits to organize the "Of Fire and Brimstone" event, which attracted 50 participants from the involved clans.

Zuza's exceptional leadership qualities are evident in her proactive approach to resolving the difficult situation she inherited. Her dedication and hard work were instrumental in reassuring her fellow Arconans and ensuring a smooth transition. She is one of our most active and outgoing leaders, always engaging with her members and reaching out to her fellow Consuls to develop and improve relationships between the Clans. Her ability to handle the most difficult leadership situation the club has faced in a decade further exemplifies her competence.

Furthermore, Zuza's commitment to recognizing and rewarding members' contributions is commendable. She initiated a review of awards upon assuming leadership and promptly recommended deserving members for medals. To ensure ongoing recognition, she has selected and trained her summit to conduct regular award reviews, guaranteeing that all members receive their medals and promotions in a timely fashion.

Overall, Zuza's performance as Consul has been exemplary. Her ability to navigate challenges, coordinate events, and prioritize member recognition demonstrates her exceptional leadership skills and dedication to the well-being of the clan. Congrats, Zuza!

Zuza remains ridiculously active, but this medal is largely due to XP she earned from the recent end of diminishing returns for clusters. Congrats, enjoy the credits!

Primary reason

Since her last award, Zuza served eight months as Arcona Consul, during which she helped to organize two very successful events: Pro Bowl VIII and AVD: Cabin in the Woods. She also participated in 150 competitions and wrote roughly 50k words of fiction across all of our fiction activities, while also finding time to earn over 500 CFs.

She was a model Consul, always active and visible, always trying to improve her members' experience in the club and ensure they had meaningful opportunities to participate in events and club activities, and her work had an immediate and lasting impact on timely member recognition in Arcona. Her relationships with the Council and her fellow Consuls were also excellent. I greatly appreciate her enthusiasm for the club and her clan, and her willingness to take on what must have seemed like an impossible task when she agreed to become Consul in the first place.

Thanks for you hard work and dedication, Zuza!

Additional reasons

"No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings." - William Blake, some English poet.

Throughout her consularship, Zuza Lottson set and defined her wings. She soared to heights of her own with plans of taking roost again when the winds had changed directions. Nothing is more inspiring than deciding the first event she wanted to host as consul was a four clan event. Talk about herding cats! But that’s what everyone loves about her, that clan boundaries are mere walls to scale and overcome. She went on to plan fictional ties with Taldrya in their events and had started discussing a possible event with Vizsla that I look forward to continuing and honoring. Progressing the growth of Arcona, welcoming both the new and old blood, building up the confidence of our members, and more. Zuza helped with any question of the Brotherhood, took the time out of her day to explain fiction inquiries, help folks develop their characters and stories, and just to be supportive of our ooc lives as well. She recently recruited two of her friends, assisted them with learning the club and dominating in gaming, and personally mentored Esen Dulle to Knighthood!

Zuza strived to ensure all our members were getting recognized timely and adequately for their activity and contributions in the Clan and Brotherhood, that they felt seen. She had led and helped support the recognition of 8 promotions, which included three Elder II promos, and 14 sacramental and merit awards, including a Emerald Dagger and 5 Ruby scepters. All since her last activity recognition. She worked to ensure our leaders understood the ins and outs of recognition, and instilled an expected standard of quality and value, even going so far as to inviting members outside of the Summit to add in their support. This level of training extended to advising on reports, events and fictional development, engagement and more. She was eager to hear and work out everyone’s ideas as much as possible and within the confines of our sandbox. The ‘Yes, and’ reigned strong.

It was an honor serving with you and knowing you. Congratulations, Zuza. Fly free, my friend! And may the winds take you to new adventures and enjoyment.
