User:Econterms

I'm Peter Benjamin Meyer. My regular user page is on the English Wikipedia.

I'm a director and officer of this chapter. I'm focusing on chapter business of two kinds (a) being treasurer and (b) participating in and hosting edit-a-thons.

I welcome feedback about the chapter at this special-purpose address: peter.meyer (at) wikimediadc.org. I do not instantly get messages there but I do get them.
