    I am the North Carolina commissioner for Clan Sinclair (USA). I convened at 4 Games last year, 5 Games this year, and will probably convene at 6 Games next year (there's a new Games in Wilmington now).

    I'm not sure how to answer the poll. I'm not an officer, I just joined the Clan Buchanan Society International last week at the Stone Mountain Highland Games. I haven't received a welcome package or membership information, yet. I do wear the tartan, though!

    Clan Involvement

    My husband is the president of the Clan Donnachaidh Society of Southern California. I am the recording secretary of the Society. We really enjoy our involvement in the local Scottish community. I am on the board of the Clans of the Highlands, a SoCal organization of local Clanns, military organizations, Highland dance groups, etc.
    Supporting the local Games, our Clan activities ( very active Clan with something for everyone), travel, and our church commitments I wonder how we had time to work! So glad we are retired!

    None of the answers fit.

    There used to be a Callaghan clan society in Ireland, in Mallow, County Cork, which is where the clan lands were, but AFAIK it is defunct. Despite that there is a chief, I believe, but he lives in Barcelona, Spain.

    The clan tartan is woven only by Dalgleish, and therefore a bit out of my price range, so I couldn't even answer that I wear the clan tartan.

    Cool Clan Fergusson member and officer

    I see that being a n000b here I may not see the poll or the poll has closed , but I am a Clan Fergusson member et al , and am serving in one appointed confirmed position already as Clan IT Manager , and was recently appointed Region 6 VP for general membership organizational and recruiting purposes . For this second position I was appointed by our clan president , but must be confirmed by the board of directors at the clans AGM in a few months . From my perspective the difference in being 'in the clan' and being an officer in elected position is that I am { will be } responsible for { or will be when confirmed } for being part of shaping the future of our organization from the 501c aspect as well as the convener / nitty gritty wearing the clan tartan and showing off my not so knobby knees to the public at various festivals .
