[Deptheads] Meeting attendance this weekend

[Eric M. Aldrich I]

Thinking out loud a bit. Indulge me. No sleep and and had to wing my  
taxes a bit. Paternity leave and independent contracting make Eric  
hate the IRS.

As mentioned before we're trying to keep the numbers down as the staff  
has gotten too big.

With that in mind, I'd like the departments to only send one or maybe  
two people

So what constitutes a department? Well, here is a rough breakdown.

Central Planning, Auction, Flea Market (Eric A)
Marketing (Eric D)
Guest Planning (Eric B.)
Web stuff (Tanya)
Quartermaster (Eric N.)

Operations (Chris C)
Registration (Tracy)
Exhibitors (RJ)

Events (Tim K)
Board Games (Neil) -- includes Traditional Card Games, Wargames, etc.
Miniatures (Robyn) -- includes historical and non-historical
RPGs (Mike F) -- includes RPGA and PFS
Collectibles (Victor) -- Victor runs the whole show :-)
Video (Jason)
Library  (Eric B.)
Misc Events (Joe E) Movies, Costume contest, etc
Special Projects (John -- our host!)
Guest Planning (Eric B.)

We need all these groups covered somehow. It does not need to be the  
person I listed above. This means 15 to 20 people max. Talk to people.

I don't like the word "department", but I don't really have anything  
better.

As much as I hate to do it, we need an org chart. Chris C oversees the  
Operations and Tim K. oversees Events

We also need to formalize our planning process. I've got some ideas as  
to how to go about this.

I'll send out the agenda before the meeting. It may not be until  
Saturday night.
