Her first convention committee was Eroticon Six in 1991, followed by Vocon (1993), Inconceivable (1994) and Inconsistent (1996). While running small fun conventions she somehow joined the Board and committee for the 1995 Worldcon (Intersection, in Glasgow) and turned to the committee for the 1998 Eastercon (Intuition, in Manchester) as light relief.
