It's one of the basic questions reporters are trained to ask.
Since becoming chapter president in October, I've been pondering this question and now I ask it of those of you who joined the Society of Professional Journalists.
Why are you a member?
Please understand, this is not meant to be a rhetorical question. I hope to start a dialogue with you and understand why many of you join and remain members and what you need from the chapter or would like to see us do in the future.
I'd like it if you would consider leaving your responses on the blog so others can read them and respond. But if you would prefer, you can e-mail it to me at bpsears@gmail.com.
Over the next few weeks the officers of the chapter will be reaching out in other ways to find out how the chapter can better serve the membership.
I look forward to hearing from you hear and speaking to many of you in the coming weeks.
