Board Election
By Deirdre Goebel Edgar
Some new faces will
join familiar ones when the new ACES board takes office in May. Winners
of the national board election were announced at the conference's opening
session, Friday morning.
ACES President Pam
Robinson said 199 of the more than 700 ACES members voted in the election,
which was the largest voter turnout to date.
Robinson, an editor
with the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service, is stepping
down as president after holding the post since she co-founded ACES in 1997.
She will be succeeded by John E. McIntyre, who has been vice president/
membership. McIntyre is assistant managing editor for copy desks at The
Sun of Baltimore.
Other new officers are Anne
Ferguson-Rohrer of the Washington Post, replacing McIntyre as vice president/membership;
Chris Wienandt of the Dallas Morning News, vice president/ conferences;
Maurreen Skowran of The News & Observer, secretary; and Carrie Camillo
Karen Hunter Maurreen Skowran
of the Star-Tribune, treasurer.
Three board members were re-elected: Sue Blair of Time magazine; Hank Glamann of The Plain Dealer; and Melissa McCoy of the Los Angeles Times.
Newly elected to the board were: Karen Hunter of the Hartford Courant, Scott Toole of The Express-Times of Easton, Pa., and Licia Jackson of The State of Columbia, S.C.
