by having the 2nd Candidate for Empress announced installed and Crowned
Imperial Crown Princess 4 - H.M.I.S.H. Plastika Von Wrap. They chose
the theme of the Unity of the Arch, and the goal for Reign 4 is to re
group, rebuild and grow the Imperial Sovereign Court. Emperor 1 Martin
Storm - The Canadian 1 was elected Dean of the College to steer us
through this next phase. Unfortunately six months into the Reign for
personal reasons the Imperial Crown Princess resigned and the board
decided not to replace the title. We had the honor of a State Visit

Emperor Martin was presented the first Imperial Order of the Double
Eagle Award for his work on drawing attention to the US HIV Travel Ban.

At Investiture

Reign 7 As we had no candidates the College of Monarchs
decided that it would represent the court for the year until we could
restructure and present viable rules and by laws to encourage more
active participation of the community and membership. Through this
process it was decided to move the annual Coronation Ball to May
commencing in 2012. Monarchs Regent were placed on the throne during
this interim period. Emperor Martin and Empress Rose were seated on the
throne and they appointed Duane Rose and Susan Crape as their Imperial
Crown Prince and Princess to serve through Coronation 8. Regent Reign 7
has had amazing success and support of the community. This process
presented and approved unanimously a new set of By Laws to govern EPAMA.
