MNSPJ is seeking candidates for the 2019-20 board year. Join us!

Up for election are four, two-year board terms. Also up for election are the executive board positions: president-elect (the elected officer will serve as president 2020-2021), board secretary and treasurer. Executive board seats are one-year terms.

The chapter is led by a diverse, volunteer board of media professionals, past and present, who are driven by a desire to promote and protect quality journalism and the public’s right to know.
