A call to action

Committee work has been the lifeblood and strength of ASNE for years and is an entry point for many editors to the organization. Although we did not meet at a convention this year, I am already impressed with thededication of our chairs to accomplish goals they have set for their committees. I am indebted to my committee chairs, some of whom have been called into action later than usual, replacing those who had to resign after leaving the business or whose duties have changed at their news organizations.

Committee work has been the lifeblood and strength of ASNE for years and is an entry point for many editors to the organization. Although we did not meet at a convention this year, I am already impressed with the dedication of our chairs to accomplish goals they have set for their committees. I am indebted to my committee chairs, some of whom have been called into action later than usual, replacing those who had to resign after leaving the business or whose duties have changed at their news organizations.

Below are links to the new committee Web pages where you'll find the committee goals for the coming year, contact information for chairs and other committee members, as well as committee discussion and links to join in. I urge you to take a look at the committees. As I said, many of the committees are off to a great start. I know every editor is overwhelmed with his or her job, but I hope each of you can find a committee to join to provide some help in this pivotal year for ASNE.
