Clicking on a name brings up a page where you can send that person an e-mail message. If you want to know who's in charge of something, this is where to look. The E-mail Directory lists the e-mail addresses for everyone connected to the convention. Our Addresses page lists mailing addresses ("snail mail") for our various departments. Check there first if you'd like to mail someone a letter. We're trying to get our final staff list posted. If you see anyone not listed, please let us know.

Please update immediately." A. Perhaps the reason is because nobody had sent e-mail to Randy at reg@chicon.org telling him to make the change? We make these changes as soon as we hear about them, but the catch is that first we need to hear them! Divsion/department heads: Please remember to email reg@chicon.org with staffing updates, so that the membership database, the website and the PR gang can all stay in sync. Thank you so much for your cooperation, fellow Chicon staffers. -Chaz & Erik _________________________________________________________________ Tom Veal's Organization article, formerly in this space, has been removed for file size related reasons.
