We’re bidding a fond farewell to some of our longtime dedicated volunteers, and welcoming two new members of the Motherboard.
We’d like to thank the following people for their years of service and support of the award:
- Alexis Lothian was the chair of the Motherboard until 2022, and had been a Motherboard member since 2012.
- Kate Schaefer had been managing our mailing list for years—sending out emails to the list, adding and removing people on request, and more.
- Liz Henry had been on the Motherboard since 2021, and was the chair of the jury for the 2005 and 2020 awards.
- Pat Murphy is one of the Founding Mothers of the award, having co-founded it with Karen Joy Fowler in 1991, and had served on the Motherboard since that founding.
We’ll miss all of them, and we look forward to seeing what they do next.
We’d also like to welcome our new Motherboard members:
- Jed Samer is a feminist, queer, and trans media and cultural studies scholar; remix artist; and documentary filmmaker.
- Jed Hartman is an editor and writer of fiction and nonfiction.
