We are pleased to announce that the Los Angeles Press Club has a new Board of Directors. We had nine candidates running for the seven open board seats.
Barbara Gasser, Carolina Sarassa and Fernando Mexia left the board. We thank them for their service to the LA Press Club and welcome three all together new board members. They are:
Joe Bel Bruno, News Director, The Hollywood Reporter
Peggy Holter, Producer, Investigation Discovery Channel
Elisa Ross, Sr. West Coast Producer, Telemundo
Below is the list of the complete board of directors. Those with stars in front of their names were elected for a new two year term. All others are up for election next year.
The new board will be seated at the March board meeting when the new officers will also be elected.
