Thank you to everyone who has renewed their membership for 2024. Many of you are already hard at work at your contest entries. If you have paid your dues, your contest folder has been created and can be found here. All entries are due on 11:59 p.m., Monday, January 15, 2024.

If you haven’t paid your dues and want to enter the contest, you need to pay before the contest deadline (and give yourself enough time to do your entry). You can renew your membership here. Please note we have different membership tiers than last year, so you may be in a different division than in years past. Send any membership questions to executive director Bill Eichenberger at billapse707@gmail.com.

Also reach out to Bill and contest chair Dan Spears if you have paid your dues and don’t see a folder for your organization. Any contest questions can go to Dan at apsecontest@gmail.com

Here are a few more ways to get involved in APSE in the new year:

* Got ideas for panels, workshops and speakers for the 2024 summer conference in Charlotte? Submit them here.

* It’s been a pretty mild winter up in Minnesota where I live, but I’m still looking forward to a trip to Florida for contest judging in February. Whether you are joining me in Orlando or judging remotely, sign up here.

* Help sustain our mission to develop the next generation of leaders in sports journalism by donating to the APSE Foundation
