The Oregon Territory chapter of SPJ is looking to fill two vacancies on its board of directors. With the chapter board election later this month, now is the time to sign up to serve a one-year term.
The board, which sets chapter policies and organizes various journalism events, meets once a month, usually alternating between Portland and Salem.
This month the board is coordinating the final details in staging the first gubernatorial debate, set for Saturday, Sept. 24, in Bend and sponsored by SPJ and other media partners.
Over the past year, the chapter has organized a variety of training and advocacy activities, ranging from reporting and writing workshops to working with the Oregon Attorney General's office to update the state's open records law. The chapter also helps organize the annual Northwest Excellence in Journalism Competition.
If these are the kind of issues and events that you would like to see continue and expanded, please consider joining your journalism colleagues on the chapter board.
For more information, contact any of the current board members listed on the chapter website or call or email chapter President Samantha Swindler at 503-812-8992 or sswindler@oregonian.com. Or write to the chapter email at spjoregon@gmail.com.
