Board returning to Oxford in April
The Mississippi Press Association Board of Directors will return to Oxford for its April meeting. The event, to be convened at the Lyceum on the campus of Ole Miss, will coincide with the April 19 presentation of Ole Miss’ Silver Em Award. Retired Neshoba Democrat publisher and editor Stanley Dearman is this year’s recipient.
Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat and Journalism Department chair Dr. Samir Husni are expected to visit with the board during the meeting and update members on various programs and journalism efforts.
This will be the board’s second consecutive April meeting to be held on the Ole Miss campus. The group attended the 2006 Silver Em Award presentation, which memorialized longtime Oxford Eagle assistant publisher and former MPA president Dan Phillips. Tickets for this year’s event are available by contacting the Ole Miss Journalism Department.
