SPJ Wants YOU … as our new regional director
Region 11 SPJ members who may have said at least once, “If I ran SPJ, I would….” have the chance to put those ideas into action for a better Society.
Candidates are being sought to represent Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Islands on the SPJ national board of directors for a two-year term that begins this August. Regional directors should receive employer support, although SPJ pays each director an annual stipend of $1,000 for each of the two years for travel, hotel and certain other expenses.
The regional director is in contact with chapter presidents and the national headquarters to help chapters be the best they can be, supervises the annual Mark of Excellence Awards competition for college journalists and oversees the host chapter’s efforts to put on the annual spring regional conference.
Interested? Contact Lauren Bartlett of the Greater Los Angeles chapter at lauren.bartlett@sbcglobal.net or Mark Scarp of the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix) chapter at phoenixspj@cox.net.
