Dear member:

Please vote now to select your member representatives on the INN board of directors!

Vote for up to TWO (2) candidates.

For your reference, you can read full candidate statements and bios.

Each member director represents all members and serves a three-year term. We encourage voters to consider how a candidate has been involved with INN and what they envision for their role. 

Directors guide the future of the organization, ensure it is on mission and addresses member needs. Directors are hands-on partners with INN staff in setting program and service strategies that build an equitable, strong future for nonprofit news, developing collective opportunities for members and fundraising for INN and the member network.

Directors often are invited to take a larger leadership role in journalism representing INN and the network of more than 400 nonprofit newsrooms and the value they have in our communities and democratic culture.

Under the bylaws, the board is composed of up to six executive directors elected by the board and six executive directors elected from and by member organizations. The two member seats up for election have been held by The Beacon's Kelsey Ryan, whose term is up and who also left the membership to lead the Association of Health Care Journalists, and Norberto Santana Jr. of Voice of Orange County, who is not seeking re-election.

The top two vote-getters will be elected.

The deadline to vote is noon Eastern on Nov. 1.

HOW TO VOTE

Every INN member organization gets one vote, typically coming from the executive director or head of the organization.

Thank you for supporting INN and your own organization by voting for your member representatives! 

Your name and organization is required for INN to verify that there is only one vote per organization and that the vote comes from a qualifying person (executive director or equivalent) per our bylaws. Your vote will not be shared with anyone.
