Become an ICPA Board Member
We're looking for dedicated, lively and passionate
journalists of all types to join the ranks of the Indiana Collegiate
Press Association Executive Board. We need students and faculty of ICPA
member schools to represent their peers in organizational meetings and
planning.
The board meets quarterly, typically around June,
September, December and prior to the annual convention. These meetings
usually take place Saturday at an ICPA member school. Given the workload
a board takes on, these meetings can increase in quantity.
Our main task is establishing and planning the annual
convention and awards but our priority is defending our right to a free
press.
Who we need
We're looking for advisers and students to fill the following board
roles:
- Student vice presidents (one student per seat)
- Large newspapers
- Small newspapers
- Yearbooks
- Magazines
- Online
- Advertising
- Student president (one student)
- Faculty advisers
- Executive director (one faculty/adviser member)
- General faculty adviser (multiple positions available for
this title)
