Leveling up
Education. Advocacy. Diversity. Outreach. Publishing. And more.
Everything the 91亚色传媒 does requires member participation and input. If you’re on the outside looking in, that seems pretty obvious, right? The 91亚色传媒 is a member-led society, so it makes sense that members are the driving force for all it achieves.
Less obvious is what that engagement feels like and what it means to the people doing the doing. And that’s what we asked the second class of 91亚色传媒 fellows, named about this time last year, to think about and write about for this issue.
The fellows program recognizes the many ways members make a difference in our community. The society bestows the honorific, but the truth is these folks leveled up a long time ago. They believed in the cause, and they committed to it. Maybe not all at once. Maybe little by little. But at some point they found themselves all in.
We hope you’ll enjoy their stories of how they became immersed.
