Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Staci Matlock has just emerged from the Grand Canyon to share why she joined the board of directors of the SPJ Rio Grande Chapter:
I joined the board of SPJ-Rio Grande three years ago to help breathe new life into a long-defunct chapter. What I received in return was inspiration from amazing fellow board members, a chance to network with others in the profession and an opportunity to coordinate some events that brought together journalists and the public for stimulating discussions. The experience has reminded me again and again why our profession is critical, now more than ever, to a vibrant democracy. (Plus the snacks ARE always great!)
Elections are coming up soon. And if you’re interested in running or want to learn more, drop Julie Ann Grimm an email at: jgrimm@sfnewmexican.com
