UNITY Journalists Seeks New Executive Director
Do you have nonprofit management experience and a proven track record of fundraising and coalition building?
UNITY: Journalists for Diversity is hiring. Come work with an organization that advocates for media diversity on behalf of the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the Native American Journalists Association and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.
AAJA Nation vs. homemade tamales
In a nod to the UNITY12 host city, National Association of Hispanic Journalists President Michele Salcedo has challenged my organization, the Asian American Journalists Association, to a friendly (and tasty) wager.
Who will bring the most members to the UNITY12 convention in Las Vegas?
At stake for Michele? Three dozen homemade tamales — reportedly “famous, incredibly light and delicious.”
At stake for me? Three dozen items selected to represent each of AAJA’s 21 chapters (wasabi Pringles for AAJA-Asia, Celestial Seasonings for AAJA-Denver, etc.)
But, really, we all win. The higher the turnout, the more people we can all meet and learn from.
So, what are you waiting for? If you want top-notch journalism training, get registered now^.
^ P.S. Register as an AAJA member and help me get that much closer to tamale victory!
UNITY12: You Won't Want to Miss This!
Registration is now open!
