i assume you, like me, went through all their non-profit tax filings because you were also curious how this clusterfuck happened lmao

Sure did! Having been in non profits for a lot of years including having oversight on spending and being federally audited I had some QUESTIONS on their spending like how in 2023 management was paid $105k but $21k last year…. And how their IT budget ballooned from $3k in 2024 to $60k in 2025

i think that's because they bought the app which they currently are using for ticketing/waitlisting which has been, you know. Bad

Also questions on spending in terms of their occupancy, office costs etc since in Georgia tax exempt status IS STRIIIICT. 🤔

The director blamed a number of issues on the lack of staff but failed to address the fact that staffing of the con is the direct fault of the director. No one chooses the amount of staff, staffing allocations, or who is doing what other than the director.

Further, the director also blamed many of the issues on having 300 vendors. Again, other vendors pointed out that having that many vendors was a choice by the director and not staffing to support that number of vendors is again a choice BY the director.

Let’s keep going! The director also blamed the expensive new venue for the issues arising in vendor set up and expectations but the director, dealer director, and their communications liaison failed to review policies and layout of the new venue and relay these to their vendors.
