Here are the longevity milestones achieved in 2020, representing a 5- or 10-year anniversary interval in continuing membership in the Society of Professional Journalists. Not all these honorees are chapter members, but they are all in our D.C. Pro Chapter surrounding area (or have been in the chapter and retain that affiliation after moving away from the area).
Much appreciation to all for sustaining our SPJ missions and “truth, talent and energy” watchwords for many years! We are sure you have a lot to say about what SPJ has meant to your journalism career, as well.
