A'15 Org Chart

Very much a work in progress. Please ignore this page.

• Looking for last year's org chart? It's at A'14 Org Chart
  • Other historical org charts can be found on the Org Charts list page.

If you have filled a staff position for Arisia 2015, also please fill out the Onboarding Form. Do this whether or not the volunteer has been on Arisia staff in the past. You can add the volunteer to the Org Chart yourself, or ask Staff Services to do it for you. If you have trouble accessing the form or other questions Staff Services will be happy to help.

This is a work in progress and the structure is subject to change.
