Miguel, the fourth HOTM doesn't post on Twitter that much, so I don't think so.... Kindred, Tim, Bryan and many others post more than he does... Many of us are surprised Kindred, one of the longest standing, and most active onlne supporters of Haley, has yet to be chosen
Lisa posts less on Twitter than Miguel does
Kristina posts more about Taylor Swift than Haley....
(To be fair to Kristina, she supports alot of people, just there's not as much activity around Haley as there is around Taylor to tweet about)
Don also rarely posts on Twitter, other than to post his daily affirmation for Haley....also Don proves that you don't have to have met Haley nor have seen Haley perform live to be chosen as HOTM
Carlos only recently came back online to Twitter and hasn't met or seen Haley perform live either....
More males have been selected than females (kinda Haley's fan demographic tbh), there doesn't appear to be a definitive rhyme or reason to the selection recently, but as shown, Twitter activity or whether you've met or seen Haley perform live are not necessarily determining factors
Derek, the times I've talked w/ him and via email feels mostly administrative, I'm fairly sure Haley has more people than he to work for/with Haley. When I saw Haley in LA for the Better tour, I talked to a woman about not receiving notice for the next day's San Diego show. She instructed Derek to get on top of that, then told me she would personally text me the time .... My last contact w/ the management, I was replied to by a different person, a female. Derek is one person we know of, there are probably more....though if they all worked for the same management company, they may no longer be working for Haley either....SRMGT is still listed on Haley's web page for contact info.... perhaps the management company will be bought out and absorbed into another company?
Ps... I just remembered, first time I was aware of Derek was when I went to the PMJ show w/ Rachel in LA (Derek stood out, not only because he was taller than the rest, but I thought it odd that he wore a red and white plaid shirt to a VIP event....) The VIP was massive (as you might guess in LA) but Rachel and I waited to talk to Haley first. Unlike the other PMJers who were socializing, Haley was talking to a small group of people, including Derek (it actually appeared like Haley was instructing them, by the body language). There were four, maybe five women in that group.
When Haley was finally done talking to them, she came towards us and said, "That's my management team".... none of them was who I spoke to in LA, she was older, the women in that group looked to be younger, around Derek and Haley's age....
So I guess it could be implied that she has/had a management 'team' rather than one manager
