pennsicdance: Pennsic XXXII Volunteering

[Catherine E. Dean]

Thank YOu Gregory for answering my question about how the Dance 
coordinator for a given year is determined.  If I'm understanding correctly, 
the ultimate decision is now up to the A&S coordinator (should he or she 
choose to exercise that right).  So if we have any  serious nominations for 
the position or reservations about specific nominations, we should direct 
them to Dame Catriona or her successor?

To clarify (in case there was any confusion), I wasn't actually suggesting 
that we vote on minor positions, in fact I'm not sure we need more than a 
few major volunteers at this point (coordinators for floor, classes, evening 
dance, ball, etc. some or all of which duties may be assumed by the 
overall coordinator).  The plan described above sounds sensible.  I just 
wanted to have the decision making process out in the open.  Which it 
wasn't before but which it is now.  Anyone who feels things should be 
done differently is now armed with the information to suggest alternatives.

Sure did.  And he made it sound to the populace like it was a planned 
transition.
