Yes it is true,

I am stepping down from office as of Oct. 01 2009. I would like anyone who has an interest in the position to please send myself and their Excellencies a synopsis of both your outside work and interest in the SCA. I will be reviewing them before submitting to the Kingdom Seneschal.

The placement is as follows;

Record Keeping
Gift Policy
Dealing with the Modern World
Contracts
Insurance
Public and Community Relations
Minor policies
Conducting Effective Meetings
Interpersonal relations and conflict resolution
Grievance procedure
Active listening techniques
Difficult Situations—respect, courtesy and patience
Award Recommendations

In medieval times, the Seneschal was a household administrative official in charge of domestic
arrangements and servants.
A favorite definition: “head bureaucrat, diplomat and mediator”
· First major role—be the local legal representative of the SCA
· Second major role—promote and facilitate communications
· Third major role—help other SCA members find and do what interests them
NOTE: Nowhere in the definition of the job of a Seneschal are the words “boss”, “tyrant”,“power broker” (or “doormat”, either)

That's the basics, I can answer any other questions if one wishes to ask.
