Cindy Kyte

Cindy started on staff beginning in 2003 and then joined the Board in 2007. She also was Co-Chair for 2011. She is the voice of reason on the Board when passions grow large. Although born and raised Catholic, she has never felt that they addressed her own spiritual needs and has sought that within the magical community. The best part of it has been all the wonderful people who have become a part of her life.

 

Cindy Wiggins (Formerly Dugan)

Cindy became formally involved with ConVocation in 2001 because her love of food and cooking made her unable to stay out of a conversation about planning for ConVocation’s Hospitality Suite…  She has since become a member of MEC’s Board of Directors, serving several terms as Secretary and on and off as Treasurer, and finally as con chair for 2009 and 2013.  At Con, Cindy has held positions in Hospitality, Registration, and Operations, as well as working for one of Con’s Former Merchants. While a First Degree  Counsellor of House Kheperu, Cindy is still exploring the many sides of her own spirituality. She believes that as a Board Member of MEC her main focus is to keep the variety of offerings that ConVocation is so well known for.
