====== Chatelaine ======

A **Chatelaine** is an officer position in the SCA responsible for recruiting and assisting new members to the Society. As an officer, the Chatelaine must be a paid member. 

In Ealdormere male Chatelaines often prefer to be called [[activities:service:offices:castellan|Castellan]]; in some [[scaism:Knowne World|Kingdoms]] this office is titled Hospitaller.

=====Job Description=====
The Chatelaine is responsible for: 
  * Assisting new members by answering questions and connecting them to people who do activities they are interested in. 
  * Organizing [[activities:service:recruiting|recruitment activities]], such as scheduling and running demos. 

Often a canton Chatelaine will also serve as [[Media Relations Officer]] and Gold Key for their group.

=====Chatelaine in History=====
A Châtelaine is a French term for the mistress of a castle or château, or the mistress of any large medieval household. It can also refer to a woman's ornamental chain worn around the waist, with keys, a purse, timepiece, or other household attachments - hence why the symbol of the Chatelaine's office is a key. The masculine form is châtelain, which was the keeper of a castle without a resident count.
