Rebecca Leber — SEJ Board Candidate 2024

"I served on SEJ’s board from 2022 to 2024, until I navigated a career transition that required me to step down from my active board seat this summer. I have two main reasons I am running (again), now to represent associate members: First, I want to finish the work I started. Second, I know I can be a strong advocate for members working outside of a traditional newsroom. I’m certainly not alone among SEJ members who have faced career changes in an unstable media industry."

Mark Schapiro — SEJ Board Candidate 2024

"I’ve enjoyed these past three years of serving on the SEJ board — but that, of course, is not a reason to run for reelection. I’m hoping to continue to build upon what we’ve accomplished over the past three years in opening up SEJ. I am also working closely with the Program Committee on our upcoming Phoenix conference, and hoping to continue: It already seems that we could not have picked a better location to tell the stories of the American, and global, future."

I would love to support any way I can."
