We’re beginning a new year in KPA as we continue celebrating our 150th anniversary.
Some of you haven’t seen the directory and might be wondering just who it is that’s running the association and Kentucky Press Service.
Below are the pictures of the five officers, the Executive Committee as they are known. And then below the picture is a list of all the Board members, their position on the board and their newspaper/company.
Remember, this is the largest state press association board in the country. We were running second to California until a couple of years ago when CNPA decreased its board numbers, allowing Kentucky to move ahead. At least Kentucky ranks first in something with this great group of dedicated newspaper folks from the smallest weeklies to the largest dailies.
