Luke Runyon — 2021 Candidate for Active Seat

I’m running to serve a full term on the board of the Society of Environmental Journalists, to continue serving an organization I believe in deeply.

I was appointed to the board in June 2021 to serve the remainder of a term. In my short time on the board I've learned about the scope and breadth of SEJ's work, and the duties of board members. I serve on the fundraising and governance committees, and am grateful I can bring my experience in nonprofit journalism to SEJ. I would be honored to earn your support to continue that work.

Rico Moore — 2021 Candidate for Active Seat

I’m Rico Moore and I was appointed to the SEJ board of directors in May. I’m excited to run for election in hopes I’ll be able to continue the work I’ve begun since joining the organization as a member. My time on the board has inspired me to run, as I believe we are working together to improve SEJ for all. My purpose for running is to improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in SEJ and the field of environmental journalism, as well as strengthen press freedoms.

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.
