There’s good news to report. The chapter board is filled out at last, with key positions filled and ready to move ahead to make NM SPJ an important force in New Mexico journalism.
First, Gwenyth Doland, who had originally volunteered to serve as program chair, has agreed to step into the challenging position of Vice President-Development. In that role she will oversee membership growth, fund raising, job postings, and reach-out to other organizations. Gwenyth is the editor of the New Mexico Independent.
Next, board member Dennis Roberts has agreed to take over the Programs chair, with the support of other chapter officers. Dennis is a long-time member who served as president of the former New Mexico chapter, so he knows his way around the state’s journalism community.
Thanks to both of you.
