Nominations being accepted

The SPJ Maryland Pro Chapter is accepting nominations for officers (president, vice president, secretary and treasurer) for the coming year.

Any chapter member in good standing is eligible to run. You must be paid up in your national and chapter dues in order to run.

Descriptions of each position are contained within the recently approved chapter bylaws.

If interested, please forward your name to me or chapter vice president Sarah Breitenbach along with the position you wish to run for and a brief description of your professional/organizational experience and why you want to serve in the chosen position. You may also provide a photo. This information will be provided to chapter members prior to the election. The deadline for nominations is Oct. 31.

Elections will be held the week of Nov. 17 through 21.

Also, if you are not sure you have the time to serve as an officer, please consider helping with chapter projects. We have several in the works including the awards banquet, scholarship committee as well as Sunshine and Ethics Weeks projects for the spring. You could help run chapter elections. Even if you only have a few minutes each week there are things you can do to help the chapter.

Thanks and good luck.
