We’re coming up on a year that the campaign admins have been working on the D&D Adventurers League. In that time we’ve pulled together the campaign from ideas spawned in emails and google hangouts. We’ve written, then played adventures, and have grown a great community as a result. In addition to the campaign admins and Wizards of the Coast employees, there have been others who have worked tirelessly to make this community thrive. Dungeon Masters work week in and week out of make fun games for everyone. Store and event organizers herd the DMs to make great events, the local coordinators help stores and events organize, find DMs, and much more. Helping to gather and guide the local coordinators are the Regional Coordinators (RCs).
RCs are responsible for huge swaths of the the US, half a country in Canada, and multiple countries across the larger regions. Regional Coordinators help stores and conventions get information to run D&D Adventurers League games, find DMs, and find players. They each manage regional Facebook and Google+ communities and are usually involved in other, more local groups as well. They manage their local coordinators and work on special projects for the campaign. They do all of this on a volunteer basis.
We think you should know your Regional Coordinator and thank them for their work in making the D&D Adventurers League great. You can find all of the Regional Coordinators on the RC page.
Special Thanks
In addition to the great work that all of the Regional Coordinators do, I’d like to point out four Regional Coordinators who regularly exceed our expectations with their level of involvement with the League, these RCs are Arthur Severance (US Far West), Cindy Moore (US North East), Frank Foulis (US Great Lakes), and Jon Lamkin (US Plains). Each of these RCs has taken on special projects and works doggedly online and offline to grow the league.
In addition to their usual duties, each of these RCs has been a great help in moderating and approving members of the D&D Adventurers League Facebook group of over 6,000 members, regularly participating in the Facebook group, commenting and giving advice to to players, store owners, and DMs alike. In addition to their public work they have each helped the League by participating heavily in league discussions, guiding Local Coordinators, and managing the Elemental Evil pregenerated character contest, and other projects for the campaign.
From the campaign, thank you Cindy, Arthur, Frank, and Jon!
If you see any of these folks at a game store or your local convention, please thank them for all their hard work!
Jon Lamkin

I have been playing D&D now for 40 years (Since 1974). It has been a long and worthy journey. During that time I have been mostly a DM. During that time I have been in the Army. Been married twice (the second time truly a charm). Have a Son and a Step-Daughter. Thanks to my Son I have two grandchildren. I Love gaming and run 4 games a week, including D&D Adventurers League on Wed Nights here in Minnesota at The Source in the Twin Cities (Roseville).
Recently I was appointed the position of Regional Coordinator for the US Plains area for the Adventurer's League. I consider it both an honor and privilege.

I have been playing D&D on and off again for the last 35 years. I am a huge fan of the Dragonlance setting since I was young. I was born in Berwyn, IL, and lived in Brookfield, IL, most of my life. I currently am living in the city of my Birth and work as a merchandiser in my spare time.
Arthur Severance
US Far West Regional Coordinator
Art started out as an English as a foreign language teacher, became an radio and radar repairman in the U.S. Navy, and then became a maritime and transportation lawyer. Those are his day jobs, his true passion is playing roleplaying games, especially D&D.
He started playing D&D over 30 years ago after seeing other kids playing it on a bus on the way back from summer camp. Usually the DM, he's played and run games from his parents' kitchen table, friends' dorm rooms, East German apartments, Austrian gardens, conventions in many corners of the U.S. from Florida to Nevada, a hotel room in Bahrain, barracks, and a guided missile frigate. He's responsible for two LG adventures and one LFR adventure.
You can usually find him on Thursday nights doing what he loves most, playing D&D in his home office in a Los Angeles suburb with his husband Al, their dogs Wednesday and Luigi, and several close friends.
