Lauren Williams, the managing editor of Vox.com in the District of Columbia, runs editorial operations in a rapidly growing newsroom. Previously, Williams was a story editor at Mother Jones and the deputy editor of The Root. She started her career at the Daily Press in Newport News, Virginia, and worked in a variety of other journalism jobs, from tiny startups to massive Internet companies and venerable print publications, over the years before landing in her current role.
On Oct. 18 at the ASNE-APME conference at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, we announced the six newly elected board members and added a new executive committee. With the two appointments and six new members, our 2015-16 Board of Directors has 22 members. Click here to see who they are.
