NOMINATIONS for lead host position [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by yardwork (a host of the Feminists group).

Hi everyone.

Many thanks to everybody who suggested ways to elect a new host. The other interim hosts and I read your suggestions, conferred, and came up with this plan:

Please nominate yourself in this thread if you wish to be lead host of the Feminism Group. In your post, tell us a little about yourself and why you want to be lead host of Feminism, such as your background or experience with feminism, etc.

The only rule is that you can only nominate yourself. Please don't nominate somebody else.

I will not be nominating myself for the position of lead host. I am thoroughly enjoying being the interim host. I look forward to passing the baton to whomever our group elects as a permanent lead host.

This thread will be locked and nominations will be closed one week from now, and then we will hold a vote.

Let the nominations begin!
