Senior Leader (SENIOR DIRECTOR through CEO)

Reasoning why they deserve this -
King has been a major force in the community with hands in a little bit of everything for a long time. Now with his jump up to CEO that has been amplified. He wears many hats within the community, and is around constantly dealing with things from every realm of the community, as well as having to put up with and work with me on the Board. The guy doesn't ask people to do things he hasn't done/isn't willing to do himself, and although that's easy to say, it's a great attitude for someone to still have at this level. It's awesome getting to work with someone driven to improve the community, and who is as willing to act on things for the betterment of KSI.

This guy is putting in some mad work over in WD. I know he is not new to KSI, but Director is still a newer role for him and he seems to be doing very well. Swaggy is knowledgeable, easy to reach for almost anyone, and has the willingness to make time for anyone when he can. Definitely a great leader, and someone others should model themselves after if they are trying to find a good mentor/role model.

I haven't known this guy very long, but from what I have seen and been around he has carried himself like a true professional. He seems to go into things with an open mind, and a level head. When he has had concerns he has shared with me, he was also ready to listen and to converse about situations instead of going off of the deep end. ES is on the road to great things, and I think Shadow is definitely part of the reason for this.
General

Reasoning why the deserve this -
Anarchy is making some great strides, and Akame is definitely a large part of that. This guy has been involved for so long and in so many places, there shouldn't be any doubt about his current drive, and level of knowledge he brings to that squad. He is ALWAYS on somehow, like he doesn't sleep at all. I'm convinced someone just plugs him into a wall outlet once a day for an hour or so, and he is good to go for the next 24 hrs. It's not easy to manage being a General with being on Euro time, but this dude makes it a non issue.

Let me start off by saying it's hard to choose between the great group of Dept Heads I have currently. They all put so much into supporting the community as a whole, especially during Community Events like Fall Classic. Dropshot is the man with a plan, and the guy who literally comes up with most of the framework for the community event schedules and details. It's hard to remember a time when Dropshot wasn't the head of T&E, and that's for good reason. Even with stepping up in Web Ops recently, T&E hasn't taken a hit in receiving his attention and effort. Thank you for the work you put into making these events what they are.
