Every year the National Association of Black Journalists hosts a convention bringing together members from across the nation. The annual convention consists of panels, workshops and networking opportunities which include a three-day career fair featuring top media organizations. UT NABJ’s executive board attended the 2019 NABJ Convention greatly benefitted from the strong connections they made within the journalism world. The student registration fee is over $200, which does not include airfare, food and hotel costs. UT NABJ would love to alleviate some of this financial burden for its members. Donations would go toward helping UT students attend next year’s NABJ Convention at a more affordable rate. UT Austin would greatly benefit from UT NABJ members spreading the Longhorn brand and establishing nationwide connections. We hope to send our officers, in along with some members, to the 2021 NABJ Convention.
If the conference happens in Houston this year, we will need to cover transportation costs to attend. This would help cover some of those costs.
If the conference happens in Houston, we will need to allow members to spend the night in a hotel. This would cover the cost of a hotel room for one member during the conference.
This would cover the cost of registration for one member of our team.
We would love to send more members of our organization this year. Cover the cost of multiple student attendees.
