We will post openings for positions we’re looking to fill here throughout the year, but there’s a good chance that there are a number of other positions that could use a willing volunteer, or any number of other ways you can help out! If you’d like to chip in with putting Norwescon together, see what’s listed below, or stop by one of our ConCom volunteer meetings. We’ll be thrilled to see you!
The double exclamation mark emoji (‼️) indicates open positions that are our highest priority. We’d be incredibly appreciative if you can help out with one of these.
This page is not necessarily a comprehensive list of open positions. Even if you don’t see something here that you think is right for you, we’d love to welcome you to the ConCom team! Please feel free to drop us a line, or join us at one of our monthly planning meetings to see how you can help.
If you do not get a response within 72 hours, please email our personnel department for assistance.
