In reply to Uma. I did Uma! So I'm now the inbound president for one year, and will take over from Laurence next year. Hope we can do some good things!

How did it turn out? Did you get elected? Looking forward to your new initiative if you are the new Commander In Chief!

In reply to Keryn. Thanks Keryn. I really appreciate that! The PTBA isn't about any single blogger. It's about all of us.

I think you’d make a great President.
I love how easily you’ve made new information available to other bloggers, and I mean really valuable information about gigs, resources to improve our blogs, tips for writing better etc. You’re blog and newsletters have been a solid resource for new bloggers. I believe the PTBA and the travel blogging community in general (for those of us who are not in the PTBA yet) will benefit greatly from a leader with values such as yours.

Good luck!! 🙂

Matt I have always admired how you support bloggers new and old. You don’t see them as competition. You don’t point out how you are doing it better than everyone else. You have always been a team player in the industry and tried to pass on the love to those around you. To me, this is the best quality for a president. It can’t be the “Matt” show. It needs to be about the greater good. Best of luck man!

In reply to Kiersten of The Blonde Abroad. Sure, we'll definitely look into Rafflcopter. I think that when we get to the point where we're actually making purchases, we'll open up a discussion with members about what they'd like to use the most, and start making comparisons.

You’re signing up for a big job, Matt! But I love your ideas- especially the bundling of apps and web services. I’d like to make a teensie request in that instead of KingSumo, trying to negotiate something with Rafflecopter 🙂 It offers way more social sharing and I currently pay about $100 per giveaway to allow newsletter subscribing, pinterest, twitter, FB, etc sharing. So… thousands of dollars annually. That would be a huge benefit to me as a member!
