Eight business journalists vying for SABEW board

Eight business journalists are running for spots on the board of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.

The election is being held online for the first time, allowing for SABEW members who don’t attend its annual conference to have a vote.

Running for re-election are Missouri State University professor Mary Jane Pardue, Dow Jones Newswires reporter Dawn Wotapka, Puget Sound Business Journal managing editor Alwyn Scott and Blumsday principal Jonatham Blum.

Also running the board are TheStreet.com editor Glenn Hall, Denver-based financial journalist David Milstead, Bloomberg News stocks editor Joanna Ossinger and CNBC.com managing editor Allen Wastler.

Not running for re-election are Chicago Tribune personal finance columnist Gail MarksJarvis and Fox Business Network managing editor Ray Hennessey.

Meanwhile, freelance journalist Maya Payne Smart is stepping down from the board, and McClatchy national economics correspondent Kevin Hall will become SABEW’s secretary, freeing up two other spots.

Voting lasts through Saturday, April 9, at 5 p.m. The candidate with the lowest vote total will win a one-year seat, the candidate with the second lowest vote total will win a two-year seat, and the remaining six candidates will win three-year seats.
