BOARD VACANCIES

Nominations for the 3 elected positions on the WASFF board must be received by the WASFF chair (Jack Bridges) before the start of the meeting.

This year, the con will be running in a blended mode, with some people attending in person and some people online. While we usually ensure that there are enough candidates to fill the Board positions by chatting to people at the convention, that may be harder to create this year with the blended mode. If you would like to see the board with all nine positions filled, please consider nominating, or check with Jack to see how many nominations he has received.

BIDS

Bids for Swancon 2022 must be received by the WASFF chair (Jack Bridges) before the start of the meeting. Note that no bid was accepted in 2019 for Swancon 2021, so the CSC are directly running Swancon 2021, with help from a variety of people (notably co-convenor Sarah Parker). The CSC have expressed that they do not plan to do this twice in a row, so a Swancon in 2022 is dependent on a successful bid.

2021 WASFF Annual General Meeting Postponed

Due to COVID lockdown, the below AGM notification is obsoleted. It is incorrect as to date, and possibly location and other details. We will send a fresh AGM notification in future. The most likely outcome is that Swancon will move to a new date later in 2021, and we will hold an AGM as usual at Swancon. It's also possible that we will hold an online AGM at an earlier date.
