The ENnies are the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards, an awards program we run every year and present in a live ceremony at Gen Con.You can see the <a href="http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/about-us/ennie-awards-business-manager-position/" target="_blank">full job posting for the (volunteer) position</a> on the ENnies website, which lists the duties and responsibilities of the Business Manager.  It is a big job, but it can be very rewarding.  The new Business Manager will work alongside Tony this year (2013) before and during Gen Con to learn the ropes. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Tony for the last few years of wonderful work he's put in!  It is a time-consuming job, and he's done it with aplomb!  We've been very fortunate to have talented, dedicated, hardworking individuals like Tony (and like Denise, his predecessor) involved with the awards program over the last decade! Do you love RPGs? Do you love, and want to help, the ENnie Awards? Do  you have great organizational skills? Then look no further! The ENnie Awards is in need of a new Business Manager to start after  Gen Con 2013. Before then, you will work with the current Business  Manager, Tony Law, before and during Gen Con to learn what needs to be  done and how to do it.
