Becoming A Volunteer

Texicon is always looking for good people to help out at the convention, if you want to help us we’d love to hear from you.
Some jobs may be small, some may be large.  So if you’re interested in Volunteering please contact us.

Because there were many complaints that the perks schedule was confusing, we have simplified it for Texicon 2013.
The following is the new perk schedule.

Volunteer Perks:
We understand that all our volunteers do not get paid for the time that they volunteer for Texicon.  However, we understand
that all our Volunteers help out because they love gaming.  Thus, we want to give back to them in the way that they gave to
the convention.  In order to do this, we have decided the following.

A volunteer who assists for 12hrs = Free Full Con Pass
A volunteer who assists for 8 hrs  = $25  Full Con Pass
A volunteer who assists for 4 hrs  = $35  Full Con Pass

A volunteer who assists for 4 hrs  on a given day = $20 Day Pass
(This Day Pass perk only valid one time per year) It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $30.

A volunteer who assists for 6 or more hours on a given day = Free Day Pass.  Heck, we think you have done enough.  Thank
you for your help.  Now, go enjoy yourself.
(This Day Pass perk only valid one time per year)  It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $50.

Please note: both Volunteer Day Pass perks are for those volunteers who are not returning to the con and will be at Texicon
only one day.

1)  The Security Volunteer must first assess any situation that arises.
2)  If the situation requires extra help, then the Security Volunteer will obtain extra help (i.e. other Security Volunteers and or
the Security Magnate) to deal with a situation.  Remember: never attempt to handle a situation without informing someone
a Magnate or Kevin or Karl about the situation first.
3)  Security Volunteers will be friendly and respectful at all times.
4)  The Security Volunteer will address any situation that arises promptly and in the appropriate manner.
5)  The Security Volunteer will seek to defuse any and all situations that occur as quickly as possible.
6)  The Security Volunteer does not check badges.  The Game Masters will do that at the game table.
7)  The Security Volunteer will ensure that Texicon attendees are not disruptive.
8)  Security Volunteers must always remember that he is here to assisting others.
9)  The Main function of all Security Volunteers is making sure that the convention runs smoothly by taking care of small
problems before they become large problems.
10) All Security Volunteers will be clean and have proper hygiene at the beginning of their shift.  This includes making sure
that
you have fresh breath.

We understand that our volunteers do not get paid for the time that they assist and help with various jobs at Texicon.
However, we understand that all our volunteers give of their time because they love gaming and believe in Texion. Thus, we
want to give back to them in the way that they gave to the convention.  In order to do this, we have decided the following.

A GM who volunteers for 12hrs = Free for whole con
A GM who volunteers for 8 hrs  = $25 Full Con Pass
A GM who volunteers for 4 hrs  = $35 Full Con Pass

A GM who volunteers for 4 hrs  = $20 Day Pass
(Day Pass perk only valid one time per year)  It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $30.

A GM who volunteers for 6 or more hours on a given day = Free Day Pass.  Heck, we think you have done enough.  Thank
you for your help.  Now, go enjoy yourself.
(This Day Pass perk only valid one time per year)  It may be upgraded to a Full Con pass for $50.

Please note: both GM Day Pass perks are for those volunteers who are not returning to the con and will be at Texicon only
one day.

GM Perks

We will also be giving other things when possible.  For example, in 2012 we found a box of T-shirts from the first year.  We
gave those T-shirts to the GMs and volunteers during the Texicon in 2012 convention.

We are sure, that as we get bigger, there will be even better perks.  Like a con suite.  Currently out of reach.  We have heard
we just can’t do it… yet. 🙁
