Convention Committee & Job Descriptions


JOFCon may be a small convention, but we still need staff & volunteers!   Below we've listed all of the positions, the person currently assigned to it, and a short job description.  Many of the roles (especially positions listed as staff) can use multiple people, and we hope that Many Hands Make Light Work.

If you are interested in filling one of these roles, or have any questions, or would like to suggest and additional role that you would like to fill, please contact Michael Lee.

JOFcon's programming is primarily a series of facilitated discussions.  The programming chair will help organize subjects and facilitators, both pre-convention and at convention.

Discussion Facilitators: Tim Wick

Each programming discussion will have a facilitator to make sure that all participants have a chance to be heard, and manage the conversation.

Poster Session Organizer: Heather Bufkin

This event will be some activity to allow various conventions, convention bids, and organizers to explain their activity, recruit volunteers, and discuss their biggest challenges.  This organizer will work out the precise details of this event & make sure that it's communicated to the potential membership. (The precise title may change based on the nature of the event!)

Meal Ambassadors: Tim Wick

The convention has a goal that no one should eat a meal alone at JOFCon.  Groups may be based around some sort of mutual interest, but we also want to encourage people to eat meals with people that they wouldn't normally get a meal with.

On Friday afternoon we would like to have a tour of the GPS Event Horizon facility, especially for out-of-town members and other members who have not seen the space before.  This person will facilitate this visit, including helping to organize transportation from the hotel to the GPS facility.

We invite members to bring their own tabletop games to play for times when they aren't interested in the current programming discussion.  This person will help to manage any spaces devoted to tabletop gaming.
