What a year to be host...
CreativeMornings has shaped and changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I have made life long friends, traveled the world and found my community. In 2013 I was an aspiring writer and filmmaker seeking to find my community. Seeking to find other creatives and creative minds trying to navigate life in our unique way. I am still so grateful that a search on Tumblr led me to CreativeMornings DC. Try as one might to get the highly coveted ticket, I added my name to the waitlist. That waitlist resulted in me volunteering for the 1st CMDC birthday party and the rest as they say is history. Since 2013, Iāve been to every event but two. Became part of the event planning team in 2016 and last year I took over as host. Not an easy job to fill after Joelās amazing eight years at the job.Ā Ā
While it has been my greatest pleasure to be the host of CMDC, December will be my final event. It has been a real thrill to be the host my last year as a CMDCer. Ā Iāve learned so much about this community and myself. Ā I feel so much good is being done but there is still more to do -- good that a new host can bring to the chapter and the city. I feel now is a good time for me to find new ways to use my voice, my time, talent and effort to make this community and this world a better place. Ā I want to say a big thank you to my team and to you all for the years of love, the smiles and the support. I am Looking forward to this next chapter for us all. And Iāll be around if you need me.
I truly wish the new host well. Most importantly, I am always sending light and love to all my CreativeMornings and CMDC family.

Sincerely, Raquel LM
Weāre looking for a new host in Washington DC!
In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg, also known as Swissmiss, started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New Yorkās creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone.
Today, attendees gather in over 200 cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their volunteer team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate their cityās creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. We call ourselves an engine of generosity and live by our manifesto.
Since CreativeMornings/DC was founded, the chapter has built a beautiful community. However, our previous host recently stepped down, so we are now looking for a replacement. Could this be you?
ā¢ Youāre passionate about the local creative community in Washington, DC.
ā¢ Youāre enthusiastic about leading a small volunteer team to put your own spin on CreativeMornings.
ā¢ Youāre excited to participate in the global conversation among our 207 chapters (and growing!).
ā¢ You use the words āhumble,ā ādriven,ā āresourceful,ā āgenerous,ā and āconnectedā to describe yourself.
If so, weād love to hear from you!
If interested, please complete our New Chapter Application and weāll be in touch. There will be follow-up interviews for the top candidates.
We look forward to receiving your application!
P.S. Insight into what itās like to be a host. And more insight. Okay, last one.
