Volunteers needed!
IT Infrastructure Chair
If you have a passion for translating between tech folks and mere mortals, the role of IT Infrastructure Chair is for you! As IT Chair, you’ll make sure the information technology infrastructure of WisCon runs smoothly, including the website, and WisCONline scheduling and registrations apps.  Expect to spend 3-5 hours a week on this critical volunteer position. To find out more, email personnel@sf3.org (subject: IT Chair).
Academic Program Lead 
If you love research that supports feminist science fiction and fantasy, then the Academic Program Lead position is for you!  You’ll draft a call for proposals from professors, researchers, doctoral candidates and grad students studying fields related to feminist science fiction to present their research at WisCONline 2025. You’ll schedule presentations, and then publish the results after the convention. Templates from previous academic programming leads available.  Contact personnel@sf3.org (subject: Academic Lead) for more information!
For more information about either of these positions (or if you’d like to volunteer, but neither of these is a good fit for you), you can also check out our list of Open Volunteer Positions.
