Welcome Volunteers

For Kalnoch - You have made this onboarding process rocking for this newbie. Consistent updates and your team has responded promptly to questions, EVEN when I should have been able to find it on my own. Thanks for all of your work getting the calendar out and keeping this shift afloat.

For Kiayra - Kiayra was such a blessing to have on the team. She was willing to go anywhere and everywhere to help the team with no questions asked. She was a TREMENDOUS help in the front line of our major parties at the Hilton. I really enjoyed working with her and her husband this year. Thank you so much for your help, Kee-eye-rah! :)

For Traumahawk - He's got your back and calm in the storm

For Jaster - Lifts you up, makes you feel as an integral part of the team. You feel they have faith and confidence in you

For Baznad - Baz! Thank you so very much for your hard work this year! It was such a pleasure working with you and your wife at the Hilton. You are truly an irreplaceable asset for the Hilton team. Thank you again!

For Dragonborn - Was extremely competent in the face of having little to no support at the Westin. Was able to leave alone to handle things when rounds were needed to be made, followed instructions to the letter, and was able to direct any guest to their destination in the hotel with no mistakes.

For Razz - Thanks so much for the food, drinks, and warm welcome for us folks in Hyatt-Harris!

For Jaster - Jaster, it is always such a pleasure working with you and Kate. I don't know her name on here or else I would give her a shoutout too. You have taught me so much and have graciously given me the opportunity to be a part of the Hilton team. I've learned an incredible amount of information from you especially with all of your signage and posters on the walls! I always look forward to coming back each year knowing that I have the support of a wonderful director. Thank you for all that you do for us. We have an amazing team because of you!

For Byron - Was really nice and was a great supervisor for my very first shift volunteering at DragonCon! Told me many things about the con, from where the Con suite and volunteer village was and how to go about preparing Hyatt V for sword fighting and kid’s Among Us. We also chatted a bit about commuting. Thanks for introducing me to DragonCon volunteering!

For Treble Clef - Treble Clef did such an AMAZING job, as always, this year! She is such a wonderful asset to have on the Hilton team. It was my first year as Second Shift Lead and she would always reassure me that I was doing a good job. She was 110% supporting me. Thank you for all of the hard work you put in each year, Treble. It is always a pleasure to work with you and Bass!

For Traumahawk - Traumahawk! Thank you SO MUCH for EVERYTHING that you have taught me and shown me these past 5 years. I have learned so much from you and I am so grateful to have gotten to know you and your family as well! You are truly an irreplaceable asset to the team. I can't wait to work with you again next year!

For Brian - Brian was the best lead during my time as a volunteer! During my Thursday shift at the Courtland, he explained patiently how we could best assist ADA attendees. He was active and accomodating whenever I asked for clarity, and was attentive to attendees and other volunteers. Hope to work with him again next year!

For Golden Retriever - Thank you for training me this morning and sharing your sunscreen. You were quick to answer any questions I had. I appreciate you!

For Inara - Went to the meetup at Dad's Garage and Inara was great at explaining things to a bunch of us newbies during. Really appreciate it!

For Colonel - Awesome Digital Sound Board School in the Hilton yesterday. Very informative, thorough and fun. Thanks!

For Shaka - Shaka is AMAZING, stepping up for the WOF this year in a big way.

For Mama Yodaa - Mama Yoda is an amazing shift lead. She made working at the Westin Ballroom easy and fun. Thank you Mama Yoda!
