Editing Best practices (section)

==Assembling Your Committee==
- Experience counts.  The more Convergence veterans you can get on your committee, the better, because they know what this party is about.

 
- Don’t hesitate to ask former chairs and/or committee members for advice.  They love [[Convergence]] and are usually more than happy to help you.
 

-  [[The_C*B*L]] is not some big scary entity in the sky.  They’re real people with a royal bumload of Convergence-planning experience among them, and they are there to help in any way they can.  Use them.

 
- If you have friends on the committee, make sure that they are people who won’t get their feelings hurt if you have to be the bearer of bad news.  Also, be sure that these friends on the committee aren’t people with whom you will feel weird about sharing bad news.  Friends are great, but they’re people, and sometimes they do stuff that could hurt the event.  If you think your friendship might be hurt at some point during the planning process, it is better not to have them on the committee.


- If someone isn't doing his/her job, give 'em the boot.  Don't hesitate on this.  It will save you nightmarish situations.

 
- Being on the planning committee does not magically make you Scene Royalty.  Anyone who signs on to plan a [[Convergence]] hoping for this outcome is NOT someone you want on the committee.
