We’re getting ready to launch full speed ahead into the 2013 convention year! This coming weekend, on Sunday, November 4, staff registration for Kumoricon 2013 will officially open. At that time, the list of staff positions for 2013 will be posted on the website.

If you would like to register as staff, please talk to the manager or director for the position you are interested in. Attending the first general meeting on November 17 is a great way to get started. You can register as staff for Kumoricon 2013 by filling out the staff registration form at a general meeting, or if your director would like, they can initiate the registration process by sending you an online staff registration form.

Starting with the Kumoricon 2013 staff term, the board has decided to fully eliminate the $10 staff member dues. This means that there is no longer any cost associated with becoming a staff member. Your commitment to fulfilling your position covers your staff membership and your attendance at the convention.

Around the holidays, we here at Kumoricon like to give our staff an extra thank-you for all of the hard work they do. In the spirit of the season, we’re having a holiday party after the general meeting on December 15 at the Phoenix Inn Suites in Tigard, OR to honor all of our fantastic Kumoricon staff! Both current 2012 staff, and new staff for 2013, are invited.
