Congratulations to these 10 journalists who will be part of our 2019 Board of Directors! Our bylaws allow for up to 11 members on our board, so there will be one vacancy when this board takes over on Jan. 1. At its first meeting of the year, the board will discuss the possibility of appointing someone to fill the final at-large position on our board.
Thanks so much for being part of the SPJ Rio Grande Chapter!
