Jul 1 '09: New ProZ.com moderator program

The new moderator role and program can be seen here.

To accompany this fresh new approach to the moderator program, several improvements have been made, among them a new application form and a dedicated training program for new moderators.

Members who are willing to play a more active role in the community are encouraged to read the moderator role description and, if attracted by the prospect of serving a term as moderator, to express this interest by applying for the moderator class of 2009-2010.

Serving a year as moderator is an excellent way of helping others to get the most out of the site, and an opportunity to network with a great group of fellow language professionals.
