Aug. 8, 2016Election of the 2016-18 NASW board takes place this year, online or in-person, in September. In addition to four officers, the board consists of 11 members at large. The nominating committee of Melissa Blouin, Richard Harris, Robin Marantz Henig (chair), Virginia Hughes, Rob Irion, Apoorva Mandavilli, and Emily Sohn has assembled an outstanding slate of candidates.
Jul. 27, 2016The Board of the National Association of Science Writers is responsible for the operation and continued well-being of the organization as a whole.

We as a board are unanimous in our opposition to the amendment.

May 26, 2016Later this summer, members will elect new officers and 11 Board members for a two-year term. The Nominating Committee has recruited and accepted nominations for a slate of four officers as well as 21 Board candidates who will compete for 11 at-large seats.
