Welcome Volunteers

For Jaster - Jaster, it is always such a pleasure working with you and Kate. I don't know her name on here or else I would give her a shoutout too. You have taught me so much and have graciously given me the opportunity to be a part of the Hilton team. I've learned an incredible amount of information from you especially with all of your signage and posters on the walls! I always look forward to coming back each year knowing that I have the support of a wonderful director. Thank you for all that you do for us. We have an amazing team because of you!

For Golden Retriever - Thank you for training me this morning and sharing your sunscreen. You were quick to answer any questions I had. I appreciate you!

For Traumahawk - He's got your back and calm in the storm

For ZOMBERT - You rock!!

For Shaka - Shaka is AMAZING, stepping up for the WOF this year in a big way.

For Byron - Was really nice and was a great supervisor for my very first shift volunteering at DragonCon! Told me many things about the con, from where the Con suite and volunteer village was and how to go about preparing Hyatt V for sword fighting and kid’s Among Us. We also chatted a bit about commuting. Thanks for introducing me to DragonCon volunteering!

For Colonel - Colonel is solely responsible for bringing us into this. Can't wait for a fantastic adventure in Tech-Ops.

For CaptainPI - Great captain! Inspiring and efficient.

For Bass Clef - Bass Clef - you are such a rock star! Thank you for all of your hard work this year and every year! You are such a strong-willed individual that DOES NOT like to take breaks but will eventually take them when forced to go to Tech Ops to "return" something to only be put on a timer for a forced break. Thank you for all of your hard work. I can't wait to work with you again!

For Bunny, Esq. - Thanks for reminding me to sign up!

For Squidward - Squidward/Michael. It is truly a pleasure working with you. You have one of the strongest personalities I've ever met in an individual. Thank you for showing me the ropes and how to be more assertive in certain situations. I learned so much and am still learning from you! Thank you for always willing to lend a hand and forcing me to come out of my comfort zone so I can take on the role as a shift lead at the Hilton. Words cannot express the gratitude I hold towards you. I can't wait to see you next year!

For Baznad - did great handling the 2nd shift crowds

For Magikal Kitten - You were a fabulous leader today. You gave clear instructions and were supportive in every way. Bravo!

For Hawke - Hawke is beloved at the Walk of Fame by managers, handlers, and guests alike.

For Baznad - Baz! Thank you so very much for your hard work this year! It was such a pleasure working with you and your wife at the Hilton. You are truly an irreplaceable asset for the Hilton team. Thank you again!

For Dragon - As a first time volunteer on the Atrium floor for night panels, I was unable to hear when checking in with my lead. I found Dragon and they were more than happy to help find my lead and get me orientated for the night. He was a massive help.

For Aha! - Shoutout to Aha! our SpecOps Daywalker “mom” who always looks out for her team (but needs to take care of herself too!). My easy transition to this team and great first year experience is a credit to her leadership.

For Joe - I worked the Mart with Joe today from start to finish. Solid pro, knows traffic flow at Young International and Portman real well and adapted the building closing foot traffic plan to solving our issues.

For Colonel - Awesome Digital Sound Board School in the Hilton yesterday. Very informative, thorough and fun. Thanks!
