We heartily endorse Robin Washington for the National Conference of Editorial Writers board. The editorial
page editor of the Duluth News Tribune and a frequent commentator on
National Public Radio, Washington is well-qualified for the position. His
past service on the boards of the National Association of Black
Journalists, Unity Journalists of Color and the New England Press
Association are particularly noteworthy, especially his two terms as
NABJ's parliamentarian, during which he oversaw a rewrite of the
organization's constitution and handled many other thorny governance
issues with finesse.
