ACE 2024
[edit]Hello, L235,
If it weren't for your ACE 2024 guide and your comments on the Discussion page, I would not have known so many arbitration candidates were women. Before submitting my candidate statement, I reviewed the current committee and, looking at their User pages, I could only discern that one member is a woman. I know we prize anonymity but I probably wouldn't have mentioned gender in my statement if I had known so many other candidates were female.
Thanks for the recommendation, by the way. It's appreciated. Liz Read! Talk! 06:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
