Please nominate your selection for our 2015 Member of the Year, who will be awarded the title Tribunus Plebis (male) or Tribuna Plebis (female). Nominations will close on 31 December.

One Tribunus or Tribuna Plebis will be elected each year. Voting will begin after the nominations are complete. A member elected for a second time will be designated Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus (male) or Tribuna Plebis Perpetua (female). When a Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus (male) or Tribuna Plebis Perpetua (female) is selected, the member with the second highest number of votes will be honored as member of the year and awarded the title Tribunus Plebis (male) or Tribuna Plebis (female).

There are a few I would like to see nominated but I will submit otlichnik: Shawn Caza for his incredible help in identifying ancient artifacts and his willingness to share his knowledge with the rest of us.  His work on the fibula numiswiki page alone is a huge help to many of us.

Wow, thanks Martin and Peter.

I nominate David MacDonald (djmacdo) this year.  He's very knowledgeable and always assisting with IDs and forgeries on the boards!

Hi folks,

I also nominate Nick Molinari.

His outstanding work regarding MFB coins and his upcoming MFB reference book convince me that he is worthy.

Dear Board,


I am gratified to see David MacDonald nominated, who I will second.  He is a studious researcher, prolific writer, enthusiastic collector, and a dear friend who is very generous of his time and talents.  If he does not seem remarkable here, it is only because we have so many great members like him.   


Best regards,

I would like to nominate Curtis Clay,

He's very knowledgeable in the field of Roman Imperial coins, along with sharing his field notes, this often gives a comprehensive answer to the question.
That's why he's the man for this nomination.

All the best,

Eric

Nick Molinari (Molinari)
Shawn Caza (otlichnik)
David Atherton
Alex McCallum  (*Alex)
David MacDonald (djmacdo)
Doug Smith (dougsmit)

Curtis Clay is not eligible because he is already Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus (lifetime recognition from our members'). One reason we have the title Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus is because, without it, Curtis might have been our member of the year again and again. We would like to ensure other members are also recognized.
