As we approach our 5th anniversary, the News Product Alliance (NPA) stands at a pivotal moment of growth and expansion. Our journey from a start-up community to a respected advocate for news product management has been marked by innovation, collaboration, and an unyielding commitment to our mission. To continue this trajectory and navigate our organizational maturation, we’re thrilled to announce an open call for new members to join our Board of Directors.

Starting November 11 and until November 25, 2024, we will open an application to increase the number of Board members to 11, opening two new slots and submitting three existing positions for re-election.

Who We’re Looking For

Our growth and upward momentum call for fresh perspectives and diverse voices. This expansion of the Board is designed to match the pace of our evolving organization—one that is ready to take bold steps and continue to lead the charge in shaping the future of the news product field. Joining the Board of the News Product Alliance offers a unique opportunity to shape the direction of an organization at the forefront of redefining the news industry. 

We’re looking for individuals who:

• Have experience in nonprofit core capacities, including fundraising and operations.

• Are news product leaders –whether they are in management roles or as individual contributors–, who are committed to advancing the NPA’s influence and impact across the news industry.

Board members have the chance to influence how newsrooms worldwide integrate product thinking into their operations, directly impacting the sustainability, innovation, and resilience of the media landscape. By contributing your expertise and vision, you’ll help guide strategic decisions that expand NPA’s reach and strengthen its capacity to support a global +3000 member community of news product professionals. Your role will be pivotal in driving meaningful change, fostering an ecosystem where diverse voices lead the way in adapting to new challenges and seizing opportunities in the ever-evolving media environment.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of News

If you’re ready to help drive the next chapter of the News Product Alliance and believe in the power of product thinking to transform the news industry, we encourage you to apply on November 11!
