President's Message

Dear members,

On March 27 we held our General Membership Meeting, where the budget and business plan for next year were approved, along with an amendment to our Articles of Association. We needed two-thirds of Regular members to vote, and through your participation and our General Manager’s persistence, we were able to approve all matters, including a continuation of the levy. At the GMM, we welcomed for the first time in recent history all Professional Journalist Associate and Associate members, and the input from all made for a more informative and compelling evening.

Welcome to FCCJ

There are no upcoming Deep Dive events. The next Deep Dive will be posted when confirmed. Thank you for your patience.
