The Next ConCom Meeting
The CONvergence Convention Committee (ConCom) is a team of over 200 year-round volunteer leaders and staff who plan and orchestrate everything that makes CONvergence what it is! Everyone is welcome to attend ConCom meetings.
CONvergence’s January ConCom meeting will include elections for three positions on the Convergence Events, Inc. Board of Directors. The meeting will be held at Noon on Sunday, January 15th at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis, with remote attendance via Zoom.
You can vote in the election if you logged 30+ volunteer hours for CONvergence and attended at least two ConCom meetings during the 2022 CONvergence convention cycle.
If you have questions about voting eligibility, e-mail elections@convergence-con.org by 11:59pm on Saturday, January 14, 2023.
