2010 NAHJ Candidates & Bylaws | National Association of Hispanic Journalists

It’s Election Time!

Meet Your 2010 Candidates!

Fifteen NAHJ members are running for nine positions on the NAHJ Board of Directors in 2010. In five of the positions, candidates are battling it out to see who will prevail. All board members serve two-year terms, except for the Student Representative, a non-voting position, who serves a one-year term.

The NAHJ Board of Directors has also recommended two changes to the organizationâ€™s bylaws to give a vote on the board to the Student Representative and to add a board position for an Academic member. For more information, click here

Here are the pictures, bios and statements for your candidates to the NAHJ Board of Directors.
