This is, I think, a positive development for SFWA:

Oh, I should probably mention. I'm running for SFWA vice president. My statement of candidacy is in the forums.

If you’re a SFWA member, you may read her platform here. If elected, she would succeed Mary Robinette Kowal, who has done an unbelievably excellent job in four years on the SFWA board (two as secretary, two as VP).

I’ve known Rachel for a number of years now and have been deeply impressed with her. I think she would be a very fine VP, if she were elected. If I were re-elected to the president’s chair, I would be happy to serve with her.

(PS: She’s also a fantastic writer.)
