She also conceptualized and managed the ConCourse for which Noreascon III was known. She chaired Disclave, the DC Regional SF convention, in 1991: the 9th SMOFCon, held in New Orleans in 1992: and SMOFCon 22, held in Washington DC in 2004. She served as vice-chairman for ConFrancisco, the 1993 Worldcon in San Francisco, stepping in to serve as interim chair when the Chairman died suddenly. Sapienza helped organize the first FanHistoricon, which took place May 1994, in Hagerstown, MD. Her goal was to create some kind of umbrella organization to oversee existing fan history activities, and to come up with ideas for new ones. FanHistoricon wasn't a convention, it was more of a workshop to establish a structure for the new organization, which became The Society for the Preservation of the History of Science Fiction Fandom, aka the Timebinders. Her many accomplishments in fandom were crowned by her election as Chair of Bucconeer, the 1998 Worldcon in Baltimore, by the Baltimore in 1998 Worldcon Bid Committee. She was instrumental in forming the Baltimore Washington Area Worldcon Association (BWAWA) in the wake of BucConeer. For several years after, BWAWA continued administration of the Young Writers' contest which had been started for BucConeer. As a 501(c)(3) BWAWA was able to sponsor other fannish pursuits such as organizing SFWA's Awards Weekends in 2010 and 2011, and the World Fantasy Convention in 2014. As an Officer of BWAWA, she was a key factor in the formation of DC17, a bid to bring the Worldcon back to Washington DC in 2017, which was launched in October 2013. DC17 lost the site selection vote held at Sasquan in August 2015. She married her second husband John Sapienza, a long-time RPG aficionado who had contributed to TSR's AD&D and Chaosium's RuneQuest, in 1999. Their honeymoon was in Australia, where not unexpectedly, Sapienza was recruited on short notice to coordinate volunteers at AussieCon III. More recently she was on the Bid Committee and represented Nippon, first for their Bid and then as a member of their Con Comm and North American Agent, which bid for and won the right to hold the 65th World Science Fiction Convention in 2007. She not only became reasonably conversant in Japanese but also helped plan the program for the English-speaking portion of the convention. The Japanese language became a lifelong interest; upon her death in 2015, a Japanese-language instructional CD was found
