"Welcoming Committee" Launches!

Good news everyone!

As some of you are aware, Stonewall Fleet is a very large extended family of Trekkies both near and far. We are growing every day as more and more of our brothers and sisters join the ranks! One of the great responsibilities of all Fleet Leaders is the welcoming and sharing of knowledge to our new fleet mates.

As the Fleet grows, so do the amount of individuals that need our help, guidance, and friendly words. Because of the overwhelming size of Stonewall there have been some that have fallen through the cracks over time. This was never intentional, and we are always looking for ways to possibly seal those cracks for good.

Today I am happy to announce the first steps of those cracks being sealed has begun! The "Welcoming Committee" was created with the idea that there was no greater resource to help shore up the ship than those that were sailing along in it!

The "Welcoming Committee" is a non-leadership, fleet member run group of individuals that have a passion for Star Trek Online, and a love for helping others. They demonstrate the best that this fleet stands for, and will help facilitate its increasing growth into the future.

I am very happy to announce that Geo (@Sinner68) has agreed to step down from his position as Fleet Captain, in order to take on this new dynamic role as Chief Petty Officer of the "Welcoming Committee". I can think of no better person within this fleet that him to lead this new group. I am very sad to see him go form my department. He was the very first fleet captain to a young admiral fresh out of the admirals academy. I am gratified to know that he will not be far. The "Welcoming Committee" will be directly overseen by the Fleet Morale Department, and will be an extension of the Fleet Leadership as a whole.

Geo has a fantastic team already with the following three inaugural members:

@ricksawyer
@Phoenixoryon
@Domin8orify

These four individuals will be around in game, in vent, and in the fleet forums to help, aid, and support all of you. They have a lot of great things planned for the coming months, so keep an eye out for them!

Please join me in congratulation them and welcoming them into their new roles!

Admiral MrIzzy

P.S. If you are interested in joining the "Welcoming Committee" please reach out to Chief Geo directly in game or via the fleet website.

:) Thanks Izzy I am so excited about this new venture and look forward to assisting new members *existing, returning and new players alike*. We have a bunch of stuff planned.

I would definitely welcome anyone that enjoys Star Trek Online, enjoys helping others, whether its helping new or returning players take their first voyages into space or sharing advise and tips that you've picked up over time ... these are just a few of the things this new 'Welcome Committee' will undertake.

If you think you would be interested please contact me vis message here or ingame @sinner68
