https://otherwiseaward.org/2026/10/motherboard-seeking-new-members I'm the chair of the board for the @OtherwiseAward . We're seeking a couple more board members. It's a #volunteer gig. Some things that might appeal to you:

* You’ll get a behind-the-scenes understanding of forces and structures affecting #SpeculativeFiction #GenreFiction #scifi #ScienceFiction #fantasy #horror and more, such as publishing schedules, organizations’ budgets, publicity and fundraising dynamics, changes in career possibilities for authors, and competing access needs.
* If you have never been on the board of a nonprofit org before, this is a good one to start with. Pretty calm & friendly bunch, with a budget that's relatively small and easy to understand.
* Our board meetings are infrequent and productive, and they end on time.
* There is a small secret pleasure of knowing who the Award and Fellowship winners are before they do, and before the public finds out.

We're asking people to apply by December 1st. Please feel free to share.
