SND's been here before; we can do it again

The Society for News Design faces many unique issues this year – an ugly and quite public upheaval in our leadership, plummeting membership, increased costs coupled with the long-term effect of the stock market on our investments, and then there’s the ripple effects of the newspaper industry’s own tailspin.

Clearly, we have our work cut out for us.

But SND began life during a time of extreme change: tools and technology were changing, the needs of the newsroom were in flux and the methods of storytelling were poised to grow by leaps and bounds. We've been here and we helped bridge the gap once before. We can do it again.

I'm running for vice president and need your vote so I can continue to serve the Society through this troublesome time, as I have for nearly 20 years.
