Nominations are currently being accepted for seven at-large Board of Directors positions and two Executive Committee officer positions (National President and Vice President for Print & New Media). These positions help guide NLGJA as it works within the news industry to foster fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues, oppose workplace bias and provide professional development for its members.
Executive Committee members may serve two consecutive terms, and at-large National Board members may serve three consecutive terms. All terms are two years.
All nominees must be paid-up members for at least one year by the time of the election. Those seeking an Executive Committee seat must also have served as an at-large Board of Directors member or Chapter President for at least one year as of the election. Eligible members may nominate themselves or any other eligible member. Anonymous nominations are not allowed.
All candidates must fill out their own nomination form. Nominations must be submitted to NLGJA Elections Chair Phillip Pina at ppina@pioneerpress.com by June 20, 2008.
Voting will take place at NLGJA Goes to Washington, our 2008 National Convention & 5th Annual LGBT Media Summit, to be held August 21-24 in Washington, DC. Those unable to attend may vote via absentee ballot.
