Staff and Officers

Advisers and publication staff members can also receive leadership training while they serve on SCSPA's Executive Board. To assure all areas of the state have equal representation on the board, members are elected from the Piedmont, Midlands and Coastal regions.

Board members set SCSPA policy, approve new programs, plan association conferences and assist SCSPA staff members in enhancing the overall profile of scholastic journalism in South Carolina.

Student officers are elected each spring to serve during the following academic year; adviser officers are selected every other spring and serve a two-year tenure.
