fantasy convention based in the Seattle area. Much more information is on the con&#8217;s website, of course, but in brief:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Norwescon is the Pacific Northwest\u2019s Premier Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention and one of the largest regional Science Fiction and Fantasy conventions in the United States. While maintaining a primarily literary focus, Norwescon is large enough to provide a venue for many of the other aspects of Science Fiction and Fantasy and the interests of its fans such as anime, costuming, art, gaming, and much, much more.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Norwescon is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, and I&#8217;ve been volunteering with the convention since 2010.<\/p>\n<h2>Attending: NWC29\u201330, 32<\/h2>\n<p>The first year I attended was Norwescon 29, in 2006. I&#8217;d heard about the con here and there, mostly from friends in the SeaGoth community, but this was the first year I decided to check it out. I attended Friday and Saturday, took <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72057594107675768\/\">a lot of photos<\/a>, and was determined to come back.<\/p>\n<p>I was back for Norwescon 30, also for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72157600087549138\/\">Friday<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72157600122430466\/\">Saturday<\/a>, and though I skipped the next year, I was back for Norwescon 32, this time attending for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72157616587835786\/\">Thursday<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72157616671131955\/\">Friday<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/72157616782992920\/\">Saturday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After Norwescon 32, though, a couple funny things happened. First, early in 2009, I got a note from Norwescon&#8217;s webmaster asking if they could use some of my photos for the website &#8212; which, of course, I happily granted. Also, as a side project around that time, I&#8217;d started unofficial Norwescon Twitter and Flickr accounts, and that summer I got a polite request to turn ownership of those over to the Norwescon webmaster so they&#8217;d have official control, which I also granted. In that same message, however, was a note that they didn&#8217;t actually have an on-staff photographer to manage that Flickr account, and since I was obviously interested in the con and photography, might I be interested in volunteering?<\/p>\n<p>And that led to&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Lead Photographer: NWC33-41<\/h2>\n<p>For eight years, I was the lead photographer. When I started, there hadn&#8217;t been a formal photography department or position for some time, so I was able to build it all up from scratch. This definitely meant there were some learning curves for me &#8212; for instance, I did the first year entirely on my own, and I do <em>not<\/em> recommend trying to cover all of a four-day convention as a solo endeavor &#8212; but on the whole, I&#8217;ve been quite happy with how these years have turned out. By the time I stepped down, each year I managed a team of three to five assistant photographers, ensuring as comprehensive coverage of the convention as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The formal collections for those years are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/norwescon\/collections\">all on Flickr<\/a>. As many of those albums will also include photos from the assistant photographers that were part of my team, here are direct links to my photos: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc33%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC33<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc34%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC34<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc35%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC35<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc36%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC36<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc37%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC37<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?text=credit%3Aphotographer%3Ddjwudi%20AND%20nwc38\">NWC38<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc39%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC39<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc40%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC40<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?tags=nwc41%2C%20credit%3Aphotographer%3Dmichaelhanscom&#038;advanced=1\">NWC41<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Social Media: NWC34-present<\/h2>\n<p>Since I&#8217;d already been handling some social media work for Norwescon on an unofficial basis before they asked for formal control over the accounts, it wasn&#8217;t long before the webmaster asked if I&#8217;d be willing to assist in handling social media for the convention. I said sure, assisted until the webmaster left, at which point I formally assumed oversight of all social media. I wrote posts, adapted content sent to me, posted content on both automated and ad-hoc schedules, replied to questions and comments, and managed directly or with assistants the con&#8217;s various social media accounts (primarily our Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Norwescon\/\">page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/norwescon\/\">group<\/a>, but also and to varying degrees over the years incorporating <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/norwescon.org\">Bluesky<\/a>, Google+ (now defunct), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/norwescon\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/social.seattle.wa.us\/@norwescon\">Mastodon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/norwescon\/\">Pinterest<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/norwescon.tumblr.com\">Tumblr<\/a>), and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/norwescon\">Twitter\/X<\/a> (no longer actively in use).<\/p>\n<h2>Website Administrator: NWC34-present<\/h2>\n<p>Since I already had a solid WordPress background, and the photography and social media conversations already had me well in contact with the web admin, I started assisting with managing the website in early 2011 in the run-up to NWC34, and then formally took over as website administrator in the spring of 2011 as we closed out NWC34 and started looking towards NWC35. Since that point, I&#8217;ve been the convention&#8217;s website admin, responsible for all aspects of the convention website including back-end management (<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.norwescon.org\">primary website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/omeka.org\">Omeka<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/history.norwescon.org\">historical archives<\/a>), design, and creating any content beyond that provided by the various internal departments.<\/p>\n<h2>Safe Committee: NWC36<\/h2>\n<p>In the early 2010s, the wider SF convention community was in the midst of grappling with recognizing that it hadn&#8217;t always been as inclusive a space as many of it&#8217;s adherents liked to believe. While Norwescon hadn&#8217;t had to contend with a major incident, the Executive Team at the time decided it was time to investigate creating a more formalized anti-harassment policy. To that end, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/2013\/01\/17\/safe-at-norwescon\/\">a Safe Committee was formed<\/a> with the directive to discuss whether a formal policy was needed, and if so, to draft a policy for potential formal adoption, and I volunteered to be part of this committee. We met through the end of 2012, held a panel during Norwescon 36 to directly involve our attending members, and continued our work into the summer of 2013. We presented a proposed policy to the Executive Team, and after a few tweaks, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/2013\/09\/11\/announcing-norwescons-harassment-policy\/\">Norwescon&#8217;s Anti-Harassment Policy was announced<\/a> in the fall of 2013, well before Norwescon 37. I&#8217;m quite proud of the work our committee did to ensure our members&#8217; safety and comfort was formally codified as part of our convention culture.<\/p>\n<h2>DJ: NWC36-present, non-consecutively<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m one of the many, many people in the Seattle area who &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/about\/\">used to be a DJ<\/a>&#8220;, and every so often, I relive my glory days by spinning at Norwescon. So far, I&#8217;ve appeared at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/2013\/04\/05\/norwescon-36-thors-day-night-dance\/\">NWC36<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/2023\/01\/27\/norwescon-39-thursday-night-dance\/\">NWC39<\/a>, online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/2020\/04\/12\/dlh-2020-04-11-norwescant-edition\/\">during our pandemic hiatus<\/a>,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/2023\/04\/10\/norwescon-45-multiverse-of-music\/\">NWC45<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/djwudi\/2024\/04\/01\/norwescon-46-thursday-dance-fandom-mash-with-dj-wudi\/\">NWC46<\/a> and I&#8217;ll be back for Thursday night of Norwescon 47 in 2025!<\/p>\n<h2>Executive Team Secretary: NWC42-NWC44<\/h2>\n<p>After several years of juggling three positions, I had decided that it was time for me to start thinking about turning them over to other volunteers. I&#8217;d been in those positions for quite a while, and it&#8217;s good to get new people with new ideas in to avoid things getting stagnant &#8212; plus, I didn&#8217;t want to keep doing them all for so long that I risked burnout. I had also been interested in getting more involved with the convention&#8217;s Executive Team (analagous to a Board of Directors), and as it so happened, there was an opening for the Secretary position for NWC42. As Secretary, I oversaw Exec Team documentation, including meeting agendas and minutes, organizational charts and contact information, bylaws, policies and procedures, and managed a small team that assisted with notetaking and handled management of the convention&#8217;s Google Apps Suite. After four years (which covered the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is why my tenure only covered three conventions) I stepped down to focus on the Philip K. Dick Award ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>(Somewhat amusingly, while I was able to pass photography on to someone else, we never did find other volunteers to take over social media or the website, so I still ended up juggling multiple positions through my time as Secretary and beyond&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<h2>Philip K. Dick Award Ceremony Coordinator: NWC45-present<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwescon.org\/con\/p-k-dick-award\/\">Philip K. Dick Awards<\/a> quickly became one of my favorite parts of Norwescon. Since 2014, every year <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/philip-k-dick-award-reading\/\">I read all of the nominees<\/a> before the award ceremony at the convention. I had started discussions about taking over from the prior coordinator during the convention&#8217;s pandemic shutdown, and after spending a year shadowing him as I finished my final year as Secretary, as of NWC45 I stepped up into the ceremony coordinator position.<\/p>\n<h2>Lifetime Member Award: NWC45<\/h2>\n<p>Norwescon will occasionally, at the discretion of the current Chair, award a Lifetime Member award to a staff member who has contributed significantly to the convention over their years of volunteering. During the Wednesday evening volunteer pizza party for NWC45, I was quite pleasantly surprised with being one of two recipients of this award. I&#8217;m now automatically registered for every future Norwescon, get to be part of the annual Lifetime Members dinner, and &#8212; as many people good-naturedly reminded me &#8212; am never getting away. It&#8217;s an honor I&#8217;m quite happy to have received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My volunteering history with Norwescon, the Pacific Northwest&#8217;s premier science fiction and fantasy convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23247","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23247"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51518,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23247\/revisions\/51518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
