Camping Magazine Seeks Editorial Advisory
Committee Member
Camping Magazine Editorial Advisory Committee
(EAC) members review current needs of camp
professionals; help to develop the magazine's
editorial direction; and conduct a blind
review (i.e., a review of articles without
the author identified) of feature-length
manuscripts prior to publication. The EAC's
recommendations are advisory only. Final
editorial decisions are made by the editor-in-chief
with input from the committee, the national
staff and, when appropriate, national leadership.
ACA seeks the following qualifications
for potential committee members: skills
in writing and/or editing, a thorough understanding
of the camp profession either as a practitioner
or in a related field such as research.
The committee represents a cross-section
of the ACA membership, with a balance of
gender, professional background, and geographic
location.
If you would like to shape the future
of Camping Magazine,
please send a letter of interest, a current
vitae, and two recent writing samples to
the ACA national office by November
1, 2007. Serving
on the EAC is a voluntary position. EAC
positions are slated to begin January 1,
2008.
