By popular demand, it’s back this month! Meet your fellow AAJA Seattle members for casual chat and a good time over dim sum. The more, the merrier — friends, co-workers, former co-workers, significant others and kids more than welcome.

We’ll all split the check. Dim sum typically runs about $10-$15 per person.

Jay Maebori, the 2011 Washington Teacher of the Year, is a NJC alumni and Kentwood High School journalism teacher. He was celebrated in September at an event at the Experience Music Project (read about it here in the Northwest Asian Weekly), but look who is just behind Pres. Obama when the White House hosted the National Teacher of the Year Award.

It’s election time, and it’s another chance for AAJA Seattle members to make a big difference!
Seattle chapter officers meet about once every two months, and it’s a chance to be involved directly building our community through workshops, the Northwest Journalists of Color scholarship and, of course, the annual Lunar New Year Banquet.
Our chapter board works as a team, and we support each other. These roles require a time commitment, but as any board member will tell you, the commitment is manageable. We all feel a great satisfaction in the chapter’s membership growth (up 25% over last year). Students and professionals see value in what we do — and now it’s your chance to contribute your talents, network and insights to our chapter!
Positions up for election this year are:
- Vice president for member programs: This person takes the lead on Northwest Journalists of Color scholarship and workshops. This is an interim one-year position. Must be a full member.
- Vice president for events: This person takes the lead on Lunar New Year Banquet & Silent Auction and networking events. This is a two-year term. Must be a full member.
- Treasurer: This person is responsible for managing the chapter’s finances, processing donations and filing reports with National. This is a two-year term. Must be a full or associate member.
The deadline to nominate yourself or another person is this Friday, Oct. 15.
Contact Venice Buhain at venicebuhain[at]gmail.com for more information or to make a nomination. You can also contact Sanjay Bhatt, chapter president, at sbhatt[at]seattletimes.com.
After nominating deadline has passed and candidates’ eligibility is confirmed, the chapter Secretary will send members their ballot via e-mail using Survey Monkey.
Chapter members must cast their votes by Oct. 29. The chapter will report the names of newly elected officers to National by Nov. 4.
