The AIG nominating committee is recommending reelection of three current board members and election of a new candidate, Catherine Adriana Rivera Chardon, a 2018 broadcast journalism graduate.
Sitting board members who have been nominated are Anthony Layser, Megan Hennigan and Leen Obeidat. Leen was appointed this spring to fill a vacancy on the board, so if elected, she would begin serving her first full term this fall. Anthony and Megan would begin serving second terms this fall if re-elected. Board members are limited to two consecutive terms.
Megan Hennigan serves as board treasurer and has been instrumental in organizing and conducting the Zoom roundtables that the AIG has sponsored to introduce Collegian staff members to Collegian alums working in fields of interest to both the editorial and business staffs. A PSU graduate with dual degrees in marketing and international business as well as French, Megan is in charge of shopper marketing for SodaStream International.
Anthony Layser has chaired the AIG’s nominating committee in prior years. He is vice president of content partnerships and programming at XUMO, a Comcast company.
Leen, a PSU graduate with majors in finance and telecommunications, is director of business development at Flytedesk, a technology firm that bridges the gap between national advertisers and college media. She works with hundreds of college media organizations, including The Collegian, to launch new products, optimize their operations and drive revenue.
No Collegian alum self-nominated by the deadline of July 19, so the slate of candidates is the one recommended by the nominating committee. This year, serving on that committee were board president Jordan Hyman, vice president Robyn Radomski, and secretary Barbara White Stack.
