Tl;dr, Please help nominate great Mozillian in your local community as (experiment) Mozillian of the Month by March 7 (15:00 UTC).
Hi Reps,
You all familiar with “Rep of the Month,” the monthly event to recognize the active and inspiring Reps for their work. In the past 7 years, more than 80 Reps had won this honor for their great work on contributing.
But besides Reps, we all know there are so many Mission Driven Mozillians contributing to different Mozilla projects, doing various activities, highly investing in support of the Mozilla’s Mission and Internet’s health, every day, everywhere around your local community.
With the Rep program evolving, shifting us to the community coordinator role, we want you - the Rep - to be the mentor, the coach, and the helper of the local Mozillians. To help them align with Mozilla, doing more, and create a bigger impact.
So we create this “Mozillian of the Month” experiment, a prize dedicated to all hard-work Mozillians. With our help, we want to share their stories, learn from their efforts, and inspire more Mozillians to shape a better internet together.

In addition to this, we will prepare a small swag for the winner, and for you, if you did tell us how do you help them in the nomination post.
This is the experiment from the Reps OKRs Objective 1. The Council will evaluate after this trial, and decide if we want to make and improve it into a monthly event.
