Message From EWA's Executive
Director
In the past two years, much has changed at the Education Writers
Association. We eliminated membership fees and expanded our scope to
reach an increasingly diverse array of education communicators. We hope
you’ve noticed.
Going forward, we will continue to strengthen
EWA so it can better serve members like you. With increasingly complex
issues confronting policymakers, the need for high-quality education
journalism has never been greater. We take pride in helping you meet
that need through event scholarships, webinars and great online
resources like Story Starters.
Right now, the first $5,000 will
be matched by contributions from members of the EWA board. Please make
your tax-deductible* donation today at our secure donation page.
All the best,
Caroline Hendrie
