INTRODUCING YOUR FOUR DIRECTORS!

First on our director's block is the wonderful....

Roudy

I've been part of the fandom since 2007, but I only started attending meets and events after going to my first convention in 2013. That was clearly a mistake because it rewired my brain, and I've been attending meets, events, and conventions ever since. My first staff experience was in 2018, which was also a mistake because now I can't stop doing it. (Thanks Grey!) So why do I want to do this? I've made friends who I regard as family, had experiences that I will never forget, but most importantly, because the fandom gave me a home where I feel like me. This is my way of saying thank you for the love, acceptance, and kindness this community has shown me.

DIRECTOR #2 COMING AT YOU

Caustic

I'm a Canadian furry artist, I've been doing freelance commissions since 2018 but have been a part of the fandom for a couple years prior to that! I've been staffing conventions for two years now as well as having a couple years experience organizing events from being a part of Fierce and Furry Completely in Toronto. I am very passionate about this community, it has given me a home and has always been so incredibly supportive of me and my art. So I like to do my part to help wherever I can to give back! Seeing the furry community coming together to share their joined passion, celebrating art, making new friends and memories is incredible. I love being a part of teams that help make these events possible and I'm happy to be a part of such a passionate team here at Anthro Niagara!

Do you guys hear that squeaking? That must be director number 3!

Adora

I've been in the fandom and creating wearable works of art since 2015. I attended my first ever convention the same year. My first staffing experience with conventions was 2024, having such a positive experience I want to do more! I love seeing the community come together with artwork and fursuits, and what better way to give back to a fandom who has supported myself over the years than helping to create a brand new event! I want to bring the community together and help create positive memories/experiences to the fandom.

And last but not least we have your resident gremlin!

Zeri

I've been a part of the furry community since around 2012-2013, and I've been fully involved with the community, going to cons, art and more recently fursuiting since around 2016. I've been volunteering for only a few years with other cons but the experience has really made me want to start something new to really even out the year, and after being approached by a few raccoons the chance to make it happen has appeared! Being part of the community has always been fun and welcoming and I've thought it's about time to give back how I can.
