Candidate bios: Greg Brownell • Jason Carris • Mark Conley

Jason Carris

APSE involvement: Joined APSE in 2003. Attended 2003 drive-in workshop in Bristol, Conn. Attended APSE conventions in 2003 and 2004. Active member of Mid-Atlantic Region.

Objectives: Outreach is my No. 1 goal. I think the only way APSE is going to grow is through a pro-active membership drive. Many sports editors are new on the job, and many are unaware this organization exists.

No. 2, I think APSE should assume some of the responsibility for developing the next generation of sports editors. We need to stress the importance of mentoring.

No. 3, I think the third vice president should work diligently to increase the involvement of smaller newspapers in APSE.
