(1) Fans Who Help at a Con[edit]

Fans who offer to help out at a convention. Volunteers usually have no special skills and normally do not have management of policy-making responsibility. Also called gophers. See also staff and committee.

Most cons give their volunteers special perks such as a ribbon, free soda and snacks (see gopher hole) and often reimburse the membership fee if they volunteer for more than 12 door 16 hours.

(2) The Department That Coordinates Them[edit]

The convention department responsible for recruiting and assigning volunteers.
