Coordinator Updates

Anime Detour
Millennium has not responded in regards to 2018 overflow and staff hotel space.
Budgets have been submitted and approved.

Suggestion for Anime Detour 2019 chairman. Troy MacDonald. Jayson will be resigning after the 2018 cycle.

Recommended to train Troy over the next two years.

If it is a division head, would be less time to train.

Would be ideal to resolve prior to the end of the 2017 convention cycle.
