PIOs, School board members and parents.
Covering education can be a trying task for journalists. At the April meeting we've put together a team of experts that could make covering your next education story easier.
Come and invite your friends and colleagues to our next general body meeting, set for 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 15 in the Dowd board room of the Levine Museum of the New South, 200 E. Seventh St.
Our second professional development session will include three guest panelists:
-- Jerri Haigler, Assistant to the President for Community Relations and Public Affairs for Central Piedmont Community College, former Public Information Officer for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
-- Harvey Gantt, Former Charlotte Mayor and member of the Citizens' Task Force
-- Ann Doss Helms, longtime education reporter for The Charlotte Observer
This is a great opportunity to get story ideas, and figure out ways to expand education coverage. The speakers are taking time out of their busy lives for our benefit. Let's make sure we greet them with a full house.

Vice-President of Broadcast,
