Wow!  That's epic.  Congrats!

I just wanted to share a personal milestone I reached yesterday.  This is a pic from my 169th IOC troop, but it also happened to be my 250th 501st troop!
 
I started this journey back in 2011. I have met so many of great 501st members, as well as many from other Star Wars costuming groups.  I've seen so many smiling faces as we've shared our Love of Star Wars and desire for helping Charity.  I've always tried to remember that we are doing this for that reason and tried to be as diplomatic as possible with everyone I've worked with.  Sometimes, things get misinterpreted or misunderstood and opinions have differed, but I Love and respect everyone that has joined me on this journey that we all are following through this Galaxy, far, far away.

Please move this to the forum that you think is most appropriate if this is not the right one. 

What is an LMO?
The Legion Membership Team are responsible for reviewing and processing applications for membership, and maintaining and updating member information in the Legion database. The Legion Membership Officer drives costume policies, including acceptable costume types for membership and setting standards for costume submissions, and are the final arbiter of member costume issues and approvals. The Legion Membership Officer supervises and advises Detachments, Garrison Membership Liaisons, and Garrison Web Liaisons on any questions or issues they may have with members costumes. Have a question about membership these are the folks to talk to!

About Me
My name is Dawn Bright and I am the LMO for the 501st Legion,  ALMO with the Rebel Legion,  I have previously served as XO of the Flagship Eclipse (501st) and the Senatorial Detachment (RL), GML of Southern California Garrison and a Legion Costume Judge (LCJ) for the Rebel Legion. I love making costumes (with an emphasis on EU and new to the legion), I have almost 60 (RL/501) Legion approved costumes.
In my normal day to day life I am an Administrator of a care home for developmentally delayed adults in independent and inclusive living situations in sunny Southern California. I work with family's and social workers to establish communication between what the families and residents want for themselves to feel productive and able and I institute success for people in need.
I'm a people person  and as an LMO I put members first and foremost. People like you with passion for the costumes in this Detachment. We are all volunteers who have spent hundreds of dollars or/and hundreds of hours making costumes. I promise you that you will be treated with respect and deserve honest and efficient results. 
 I look forward to serving you and working with this fine Detachment
 
About the Team
 
Michael Capell CT/SL/ID-3037 Timberline Garrison
Michael has been an LMO and on the LMO Team for about a decade. He has done many things in the Legion since his wife told him she was joining and that he needed to as well. He has been the SLD Webmaster for ten years, as well as (over the years) been a GXO, GML, GWL, and GEC. He specializes in Clones, EU / Legends, Sith Lord costumes, and helping people where he can. He’s looking forward to another term helping expand our Costume Reference Library. 

Blair Douglas ID-12266 Midwest Garrison
Blair is new to the LMO team but has served as a liaison for unity for the clubs for many years. She has LMO experience with the Rebel Legion and has led an effort in the RL around costume approval reform with a concentration on maintaining quality, improving consistency, and making approvals attainable.  Her experience will help us address some of the current pain points within the 501st system. An additional bonus is that Blair is a lead software engineer by day helping to provide Fortune 500 companies technical solutions for their business needs. Her professional experience will also help us assess the current state of the systems supporting costume approvals and help to figure out how to improve them to facilitate a more positive costume approval experience. Fun fact Blair plays bass in the band Soft Speaker, extra fun fact she paid her way through college playing bass in a U2 tribute band and her nickname was Madame Clayton.
Kris Kobus ID-33633 United Kingdom Garrison
Kris is new to LMO but has held positions such as XO and DCA for the IOC and Events administrator for his Garrison where he is also a Officer costume adviser. Kris is a workaholic and does not believe in sleep so is usually always available no matter the time zone.

Brian Anderson TK-7602 New England Garrison
Brian has been the LMO team lead previously. He was one of the driving forces of Detachment empowerment and pushed for CRL changes. Brian has been on local staff and Detachment level staff for many years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Brian is known as the “make it look like the picture!” guy when it comes to standards and truly embraces current Legion culture.

Eric Brager  TK-9674 New England Garrison  
Eric was the lead LMO for the 501st Legion two terms from 2015 to 2017. He has twice been elected FISD Detachment Leader and has held a number of garrison level command positions in the 501st Legion
We are so very excited to work with you guys! One thing I love so much about Detachments is the love for new CRLs and the passion. Both of which are very near and dear to my heart. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Detachment or LMO team.
I prefer messages Here or to LMO@501st.com  that way I keep record of them and can tag appropriate parties
Thank you and have a nice day,
