We had a transition occur in the Volunteer Coordinator (VC) position about two months prior to the gathering. Anastasia found that she would not be able to attend C14, so I (Spud) stepped up from being her assistant to take over the role of VC.

We posted out to a.g. and the convergence LJ communities. I think these were the best and most appropriate forums for this, as it | The call for volunteers really only went out about a month before the C14 event was scheduled to begin.
