I am running for a seat on the board of directors of the Society of Professional Journalists. Watch the video below and click here for my SPJ platform.
I am also running for secretary of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Click here for my NAHJ platform.
Can someone serve on two boards at once? The answer is yes. In fact, for more than a decade, it was a requirement for presidents of NAHJ. I served as Secretary of UNITY at the same time I was NAHJ president from 2006-2008. Many have served simultaneously on the boards of NAHJ, SPJ, RTDNA, ASNE, ONA, IRE and others (not to be misleading: two boards is not uncommon. More is unusual).
Good luck to all the candidates for both boards!
