Local Fan Groups
Channel: New Mexico Science Fiction Conventions, Inc.
Date: 15/12/2019

SF permeates pop culture and fans find each other online and form different types of clubs/fan groups. Most conventions have grown out of local fan groups -- clubs -- and continue to depend on a healthy club for much of their staff and management. So healthy clubs mean healthy conventions. But how do we keep our clubs healthy? How can we bring those people in to be on staff and head run things? What does a club need to do today to retain people once they've found it? Is there benefit in holding non-convention meet ups and outings like movies, picnics and book clubs to help hold together a community?
