The following is a list of Admins for the facebook Page- #Indiana’s 2nd Annual Social Media Summit
Noah Coffey, Shawn Plew, Bruce McClain, Duke Long, Chuck Gose, Dana Nelson, Mike Gingerich, Steve Dalton, Kevin Mullett, Rick Wilkerson, Chris Theisen, Karl Tatgenhorst, Kathy Legner Sipple, Chad Richards, Robby Gehlhausen Slaughter, and Amy Stark
As admins ALL of the people listed above are INeligible to appear on the final ballot. They knew the terms of serving as an admin and were fully aware of their INeligiblility to win a Large and Impressive Trophy PLUS wear a paper tiara in front of their peers at #Indiana’s 2nd Annual Social Media Summit and SMackdown Event!
Chuck Gose will forever have the title of #Indiana‘s INaugural Most Influential Social Media Dude That’s enough power for any SM peep, and it just wouldn’t be right to double dip. Chuck RSVPd for the event at Scotty’s Brewhouse and he must abdicate his trophy to the New Dude OR purchase a similar one w/ “#Indiana’s 2nd Annual Most Influential Dude #IN_SM10 ” as the inscription on the base.
@RobbysLaughter heads Up the Voting / Nomination Governing Board – So he definitely has a conflict of interest.
@BgKahua is the Emcee giving him an unfair advantage. If he’s smart -and he is – he will use this platform as a way to springboard his campaign for next year and abdicate the Emcee’s role for #IN_SM11 to kick some serious butt.
Chris Theisen – has access to the official nomination spreadsheet – I will let Robby Slaughter make a call on whether HARE Chevrolet is ok as a nominee for “Grooviest Campaign.”
Scotty’s Brewhouse raises TONS of nomination/voting questions. I will defer to @RobbysLaughter who, by the way, was nominated as most ethical for a reason. In fact that trait is precisely why I asked Robby to fill this role in the first place.
If I am missing something help me understand by adding a kibitz comment below. Reflect before you post, however, on how much exposure the peeps above will receive & don’t feel sorry for them because of their ineligibility. I am GLAD for my ineligibility to be nominated for Most INfluential Dame, for example- because I can still actively participate and gain exposure without the possibility of losing. =)
Robby Slaughter – who presides over the nomination / voting governing board – made a decision on twitter that no one affiliated with Scotty’s Brewhouse will be eligible because the 96th street location is the location of the Awards Ceremony and that would be an unfair advantage.
The following three tweets are from Robby:
@AmyStark Because @Brewhouse is hosting the events, Scott and all his employees are conflicted and therefore ineligible for #IN_SM10. (1/3)
This would imply, in part, @Amystark, that alt. locations besides @Brewhouse should be considered for #IN_SM10 events in future years (2/3)
Finally, precedent exists for a Special Achievement Award for @Brewhouse (http://j.mp/gvNNx9) @amystark #IN_SM10 (3/3)

This decision means Lauren Fiedler, Scott Wise and Scotty’s Brewhouse will be added to the INeligible list above.
I agree Jen. I like the term Dame. I consider myself to be a “Pushy Broad” but that doesn’t have the same lyrical quality as Dame.
I just think it would be fun to be referred to as ‘Dame.’ Ya know, like ‘Dame Judy Dench.’ Yeah. That’s cool.
I’m glad you cared enough to mention your disappointment. I’d rather someone jerk my chain than ignore me any day of the week.
Just jerkin’ your chain. 🙂

I’m glad we caught this early in the nomination process.
I’m more interested in honest responses. I like the idea of a true opinion nomination process. You nominated Chris Theisen and that was an honest nomination. As far as SM is concerned Chris influenced you more than any other dude right?
In my defense… There are two entries in the discussions tab on the facebook page regarding nominations and voting – I will admit not everything is crystal clear.
Would you like to be in charge of the next year, Bob? I trust you implicitly, too. =)
Hmmm….
Memo for record for 2011. Publish ALL rules up front.
