Hello, League members!

I sit on the advisory board of NM Local News Fund – a nonprofit that supports independent journalism across the state – and we'd love to invite you to the first ever New Mexico Local News Summit on Saturday, Sept 30th. Their amazing team works to shed light on local reporting and bridge the gaps in our journalism. From fostering young talent to securing state funding for rural community journalism, they help ensure the future of local news.

The Summit is Sept 29-30 in ABQ and they need the support of regular people like you and me. You can learn more here: https://www.nmlocalnews.org/summit2023/. Tickets are $49 or $25 for students. If you're interested but the cost is prohibitive, let me know. I'm happy to sponsor any League of Women Voter member in NM who would like to attend.

Cheers!

Trish
