From the President - Ed Byers
For yours truly, it's déjà vu all over again - at least for 2016. I am looking forward to serving as your President once again.
We all need to thank Michael Bennett for his service as President for the past three years and I am happy to report that Michael will remain as a trustee on the Board.
I want to thank Thom Fladung of Hennes Communications for coming aboard as Vice President for the next two years and we welcome two new board members, Rita Andolsen of MetroHealth and Plain Dealer Business Editor Mary Lou Brink.
We kick off the New Year with some exciting programs. We invite you to come and meet Plain Dealer Editor George Rodrigue as he talks about his first year covering the CLE. "A Conversation with George Rodrigue" is on tap January 20th with a Noon luncheon at North Point Tower.
On February 15 we will examine the threat of terrorism right here at home with a panel discussion featuring noted experts:SACS Security analyst Tim Dimoff, John Carroll University Professor Emeritus Dr. Thomas Evans and nationally renowned school security expert Ken Trump.
There is another interesting discussion on the drawing board for March with Press Club Board member Joe Pulizzi discussing Content Marketing and its impact on journalists. Then, on April 8th we make our annual pilgrimage to Progressive Field's Terrace Club for a media coverage preview of the Republican National Convention.
I will wrap this up by saying I have no idea where this Club would be if it weren't for the dedication of Lynn Bracic and Debi Weslek who faithfully serve the Club administratively. They are always ready to answer any questions you may have at 440-899-1222 or email:
Here's to a great 2016.

Corporate Sponsors Help The Press Club of Cleveland Provide Sponsorships to Kent State Journalism Students
CLEVELAND (Dec. 18, 2015) - The Press Club of Cleveland, continuing its tradition of supporting the next generation of communications professionals, has donated more than $2,000 to The Press Club of Cleveland scholarship endowment at Kent State University's School of Journalism and Mass Communications in the past two years.
The fund had not received any new contributions since it was established in 1987 in memory of former Press Club President Dick Kostic.
The donations were made possible through the support of The Press Club of Cleveland's corporate partners, First Energy and Medical Mutual of Ohio. A percentage of their annual donations to sustain club activities are earmarked for the fund. In addition, a percentage of donations from Press Club event sponsors also fuel the fund. Those sponsors since 2014 have included Business Wire, Coca-Cola, Content Marketing Institute, Hathaway Brown School, Hospice of the Western Reserve, and Lincoln Electric.
The endowment fund provides scholarships each year to outstanding newspaper, online, magazine, broadcast news, photojournalism or information design students who otherwise may not have been able to attend KSU. They sometimes are also the first generation in their family to attend college. The added donations will help KSU increase the value and number of awards each year.
"Receiving a monetary award not only reminds us that we're on the right track, but also gives us financial stability, making a huge difference in students' lives," wrote one Press Club scholarship recipient. "I am extremely grateful for your efforts in giving back to students."
"We are grateful for the work Kent State does to educate and train the next generation of communications professionals," said Michael E. Bennett, President of The Press Club of Cleveland. "We look forward to seeing them take their place in the work world after graduation and make incredible contributions to the ever-changing fields of news media and communications."
