This page lists all of our department heads, and many of their staff. 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.

Q. "Why is my name not on the Roster? I am [blank]. 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
