Sam Eaton — 2021 Candidate for Active Seat
After 17 years of experiencing the immeasurable value of being a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists from the sidelines, I've decided it's time to give back to the organization that's been the one constant in my career as an environmental journalist. I've watched the organization grow both in numbers and in representation. I've eagerly signed up for as many annual conferences as I could swing as a freelance journalist. And more recently, I've been attending the SEJ-sponsored webinars, which have been invaluable as I find my bearings covering the western US.
Tony Barboza — 2021 Candidate for Active Seat
Dear SEJ Members,
I've learned a lot from this passionate group since I first became a member nearly a decade ago. I’m running for the board because I want to help SEJ support and advocate for a new generation of journalists and audiences.
Like many of us, I found my way into environmental journalism through small opportunities: An internship, a reporting assignment, a new beat. At SEJ, I found a supportive, knowledgeable community that is dedicated to the beat and generous in sharing ideas and expertise.
