📢 Join the Leadership: Cabinet and Volunteer Forms!🔥
We're looking for new team members to help shape the next Brook Con! If you’ve got big ideas and a passion for the community, or want to help as a volunteer, we want you✍️💫
Both Cabinet and Volunteer forms are at the link in our bio!
A Word from Okumichi:
This year especially, we're looking for your help. A significant portion of our cabinet team—the team who made the past 4 Brook Cons possible—is graduating this semester.
The more new cabinet members we have, the less stressful planning will be for old and new members alike, and the more successful Brook Con can be.
If you want to see Brook Con 2027 shine brighter than ever before, we're passing the mantle to you!💟
