Nominations Sought for AJHA Board, Second VP

The American Journalism Historians Association is seeking nominations for three board positions and second vice president.

A nominee to the Board of Directors or to any officer position must be a member of the AJHA for at least one calendar year immediately preceding the date of the election. No more than one person from an institution can serve on the Board at one time.

To make nominations and to vote in an election, an individual must be a member of AJHA.

Those who wish to nominate candidates may do so by sending an email with the nominee's name, contact information, and affiliation to Election and Nominations Committee Chair David Bulla, dbulla@augusta.edu. Self-nominations are accepted.

Please confirm the candidate's willingness to be nominated before sending the name to David.

You should send a brief bio (not more than 100 words) and photo of the nominee along with a statement of why the person wants to serve.

To standardize bios, the bios should contain statements and answers to the following questions. Answers may be obtained from the candidate or their vitae.

• Candidate’s name, title, university affiliation
• How long has the candidate been a member of AJHA?
• Why did they join AJHA?
• Benefits of their AJHA membership.
• Roles and duties the candidate has performed for AJHA.
• Strengths and qualities the candidate possesses for the office.

The deadline for nominations is 5 p.m. EDT, Sept. 4, 2026.
