2019 David Stolberg Meritorious Service Award Winner: Jim Bruggers
This award recognizes an SEJ member for exceptional volunteer work. Volunteers are the lifeblood of SEJ. Member-volunteers organize tours and panels for the annual conference, implement the awards program, contribute to the SEJournal, serve as mentors and sit on any number of committees. Without the generous efforts of volunteers, SEJ wouldn’t have the same reach or influence, and it wouldn’t be the same warm, grassroots organization we all have come to love. At #SEJ2019, we were thrilled to award the Stolberg member-volunteer award to InsideClimate News reporter Jim Bruggers (pictured).
