Reminder: Testimonials needed for LEGO Ambassador nominees
As the LEGO Ambassadors nomination process winds down between now and Saturday night, one of the last steps in the process is to collect at least three testimonials from fellow community members about each nominee.
In online LEGO communities all over the ‘net, meeting this requirement is proving harder than anticipated. We all made our voices heard with our suggestions and votes, but with less than 48 hours to go, it’s time to take that next step and say something nice about your potential LEGO Ambassadors. :-)

@Riley: I don’t frequent BrickFilms.com myself, so I’m not aware of where the discussion is going on there. Can you post a link?
@DarKspaWn: No problem. ;-)
@Nannan: Awesome. Thanks!

BZPower has nominee voting underway. I’m still not clear if they count owing to their AFOL-scarce member body, but…

This is quite incredible. The same people running for nomination on several sites?!?

@ Riley & Ean: Thanks! I’ll update the post shortly.
@linmix: Just to clarify, nominees aren’t really “running” in the political sense. In nearly every case, communities actively and independently chose people who they felt would best represent them as LEGO Ambassadors. Speaking of the other multi-nominees and not myself (yes, I’m up there three times), it says how broad an impact these people have and how much support they have across several communities.
(I was personally asked to stand as a nominee in at least two other communities but declined in order to let others represent those communities.)

Thanks to everybody who contributed nominee suggestions, votes, and testimonials, we’ve sent our LEGO Ambassador nominations to LEGO.
I’ll post something separately shortly.
