Incredible energy, sharper newsroom instincts and a reminder of why community in this industry matters. Board members @ByEshaRay and Rekha Shanmugam represented SAJA at the #AAJA26 convention in lovely Minneapolis — and hosted a mixer along with the chapter heads of @aajanewyork, @aajanewengland, @AAJAPhilly, @aajadc and News Nerds. It was conversations, community-building and pizza galore. Stay tuned for many such collaborations in the future!

This is happening tonight at 6pm CT! If you’re at the #AAJA26 convention this week, stop by and say hi 👋🏽
