I feel the baronial coronet has the duty to be
welcoming and helpful to newcomers at least in the
same way that all baronial members should be helpful:
help newcomers and visitors find congenial activities,
people, and information. The baronial coronet has the
particular responsibility of embodying the welcoming
aspect of Carolingia in person for newcomers.

Kali and I have also discussed the idea of the
baronial coronet setting aside a half hour or so at
each event to meet newcomers and visitors, discuss
Carolingia with them, and point out people that the
newcomers or visitors may wish to talk to about
specific activities. This would give newcomers an
opportunity to meet and talk to the baronial
coronet(s) as well as get some valuable information,
without putting as much pressure on the newcomer as an
introduction in court might.
