Margene S. Bahm started in fandom in the 1970’s working on a number of Kansas City area conventions held during that era. Her first Worldcon was Denvention 2 in 1981. She joined the Kansas City Science Fiction and Fantasy Society (KaCSFFS) in 1992. She has held the positions of Programming Director (4 years), Benefit Auction Director (4 years), Convention Headquarters Director (1 year) and Co-Chairman for at least six years for ConQuesT, the Regional Convention sponsored by KaCSFFS each year. In 2001, after much research and consultation, she formed a bid committee and announced the Kansas City in 2006 Worldcon bid. KC lost to Los Angeles by a mere 76 votes. She assisted Team LOL, Diane Lacey, Jeff Orth, and Ruth Lichtwardt, with their bid for Kansas City in 2016 which they won. During the early years she was heavily involved in costuming both for masquerades and for the Renaissance Festival which she was part of from 1978 until 1994. She did costuming and also First Responder medical work for the SCA from 1981 through 1994. In her copious free time, she held a full-time position as a purchasing agent in corporate America, while also reprising her role as First Responder, this time in an industrial setting. She also taught Irish Dance at UMKC for their Communiversity program for 20 years. She is now retired and busier than ever.
