Following its annual meeting in October, LION Publishers has new board leadership and is thanking three members for their years of service as they exit the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board voted unanimously to approve Gunita Singh as chair, in accordance with the bylaws, following a year of service as vice chair. Singh, a staff attorney for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press<\/a>, joined LION\u2019s board in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the unveiling of LION\u2019s five-year strategic plan this past October, I couldn\u2019t be more excited about LION\u2019s vision for its members and local news, generally,\u201d Singh said. \u201cAnd I have no doubt LION\u2019s leaders will execute that vision with creativity, dedication, and zeal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board also unanimously elected Scalawag<\/a> Executive Director and LION member Cierra Hinton as vice chair. Hinton has served on the board since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebekah Monson, LION\u2019s outgoing chair, will be the immediate past chair of LION\u2019s executive committee and chair of the newly created membership committee. More details on this committee are forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the leadership transitions, LION\u2019s board congratulated three outgoing members and officers. Jay Allred, LION\u2019s former chair and vice chair who leads LION member organization Richland Source<\/a>, stepped down after eight years of service. Rosemary Hoban, who served as secretary and leads LION member organization NC Health News<\/a>, stepped down after six years. Shannon Shaw Duty, who joined LION\u2019s board in 2021 and leads LION member organization Osage News<\/a>, also stepped down in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the board welcomed new committee leadership. Board member Neil Chase, CEO of CalMatters<\/a>, now chairs the governance committee, and board member Anita Li, founder of The Green Line<\/a>, chairs the board development committee. Anyone interested in serving in a board or committee member capacity is encouraged to contact the board using this form<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
