Everyone,

The Penguicon Board is currently looking for people interested in being the
2017 Penguicon Convention Chair.  Yes, this is the person "in charge", the
one that organizes running the whole event for 2017.  If you've been
involved with Penguicon (or even if you haven't, but know about us and
think you would make a good candidate) please e-mail me and put your name
in for our consideration.  We will ask candidates to come to the September
Penguicon Board meeting to talk to us about why you think you would make a
good Chair for Penguicon 2017, what you bring to the convention, and why
you'd have a boatload of fun doing it. (A carload will not be sufficient,
you must be prepared to have at least a boatload.  A *big* boat.)

The key information:

The job: The convention Chair is responsible for everything having to do
with organizing, running, and surviving each year's Penguicon.  They have
complete authority over the convention, subject only to
the Penguicon's Bylaws, permanent policies, and the budget.  They solicit
guests, find volunteers, organize departments, arrange a hotel, filter
suggestions, herd cats, whack moles, and discourage programming suggestions
that would run afoul of either the fire department or police.  (Or, instead
of discouraging them, they find a way to do them *without* running afoul of
local laws!)  They also get to coordinate the work of dozens of bright,
motivated, fascinating and enthusiastic staff members, and hopefully
delegate most of the work to them.  For this massive and difficult task,
they receive no compensation, have to sweat blood, might possibly get an
occasional thank you, and have the love of hundreds upon hundreds of
convention attendees that think that Penguicon is the neatest thing since
sliced bread, and actually probably a bit neater, since, after all, sliced
bread really IS kind of yesterday.

Applying: Send an e-mail with your name and contact information (e-mail and
phone, please) to me at this address: SteveGutterman at GMail dot com.  Do
this before September 12, 2015; because on that day at HIGH NOON we will
ask you to come to the Penguicon Board and talk to us about your interest
in being the ConChair.  Also feel free to e-mail me at that same address if
you'd just like more information.

We very much encourage all interested to apply, and anyone interested in
talking to the candidates is invited to the September Board meeting.
(All Penguicon Board meetings are open to all interested persons.) This
 meeting will be held at a NEW LOCATION, so please take note:


i3 Detroit
1481A Wordsworth Street
Ferndale, MI 48220


A map and directions are available on the i3 Detroit home page at:
