In WABJ News
If you haven't heard by now, the Washington Association of Black Journalists was honored as Chapter of the Year August 10, 2007 at the Hall of Fame Banquet in Las Vegas!!!!!
Hearty congratulations go out to all of you. We have worked hard the past year and a half to make our chapter relevant and viable. And while we still have lots of work to do, we're well on our way.
Thanks to all of you who have given selflessly of your time - people like Darlene Superville, Jonathan Blakely, Trina Williams. There are too many of you to name. But thank you.
And, of course, our focused WABJ Board deserves a lot of thanks. I can honestly say that everyone on our board puts the chapter first. I can't thank you folks enough for your hard work and your loyalty to WABJ.
As we go forward, we'll still need your help to keep us on top of our game. That means we need more people to come to our meetings, to participate in our programs. Bring friends with you so we can sign them up.
This fall, we'll begin reaching out to the Washington broadcast scene. I talked at length the other night with people like Maureen Bunyan and Jim Vance and they're ready to work. I hope you are, too.
In mid-September, we'll have our second annual networking/fund-raising affair. As soon as the details are solid, I'll drop you a note. It's sure to be a blast.
We won't have a meeting this month because of the national convention. But we're back on for September.
I'll update you in about a week about more exciting WABJ news. September is going to be an exciting month for us.
Congrats, again, WABJ for a job well done. I hope all of you can hold your head up a little higher today when you think or talk about WABJ.
