Only a Few Days Left to Vote for MAsT International in the Pantheon of Leather Awards!

This year, the winners will be decided by public voting so be sure that your voice is heard!

Visit The Pantheon of Leather website and click “vote now” to cast your votes. You can leave any category blank that you do not wish to vote on.

Voting is only open for a couple of more days, so be sure to pass this link on right away to anyone in your chosen family that would be interested in seeing MAsT recognized. (email, fetlife, facebook, twitter, etc.)

Here is an excerpt of Ms Suzan’s bio from the PantheonOfLeather website. The full bio and those of the other nominees can be found here.

"I have lived a “Charmed Leather Life”. Helping to open and run The Sanctuary, helping produce MAsT ’99, and getting to meet all those people was life changing. I also helped facilitate Butchmanns and worked on the Leather Quilt. In addition, I have taught numerous classes, judged several contests, been a Tally Master and soon I will be giving my first Key-note speech.

In my early years I was taught that new people needed to feel needed. That once I mastered something, it was time to move over and let the new kids try. Sometimes I didn’t know where I was moving to, but I have been fortunate that I have always been graced with new and wonderful opportunities and directions for growth.

I am also very involved with MAsT, having been on its Board since 2007. I’ve led the Team in getting a non-profit status and getting the logo trademarked. Now, my job is to room the next Leadership Team for MAsT International, so I can take a less active role—but I’m not done yet.

Being nominated for this award affirms my hope that the work I have done in this community has touched people’s lives and helped them on their journey. Every day is a new learning experience.”

Be sure to pay attention in the other categories as well. In addition to MAsT International and Ms. Suzan, a number of our other beloved institutions have also been nominated this year including The Carter Johnson Library and the Leather Heart Foundation!

After more than 30 years serving the M/s community, if you’d like to see MAsT International recognized in the Pantheon of Leather, as well as other individuals and organizations you would like to see acknowledged, be sure to take a moment now to vote and spread the word before ballots are closed at 12:00 AM on August 15.
