As anyone who reads this site regularly knows, “sports” and “PR” are my two loves. 
So, when I started #SportsPRChat a few years back, it was the best marriage of two great things since Reece’s created peanut butter cups. Think about it.
Spending an hour each week talking sports PR and marketing has been a highlight of my career.
But, as Kenny Rogers (the singer, not the pitcher) said, “you’ve gotta know when to fold ‘em.”
With my first child on the way, being part of a fast-growing company, and other exciting personal and professional opportunities on the horizon, I think it’s time to turn the reins over to someone else.
I fully plan to be a participant (and I will ALWAYS be the Founder!) and will still blog about sports PR ALL the time.
That’s the sad news.
Here’s the good news.
YOU can be the new permanent moderator of #SportsPRChat!
E-mail me at michaelgschaffer@gmail.com with the following questions:
1) Name
2) Where you live
3) Favorite team (duh)
4) Why do you think you’d be the best #SportsPRChat moderator?
Please send me your submissions by Friday, March 25 at noon ET.
I’ll announce the new host on next week’s “season finale” of #SportsPRChat.
It’s been a pleasure and an honor to lead this chat.
As I always, always, always say – I ask the questions and you bring the smarts.
I look forward to your emails and to being a member of this awesome chat every week!
