Yahoo Finance RSVP: A live discussion with the Star-Telegram’s Community Advisory Board
Earlier this year, we asked three readers who are deeply engaged in the issues affecting Dallas-Fort Worth and Texas to become our inaugural Community Advisory Board. These volunteers meet periodically with the Star-Telegram Editorial Board to discuss concerns in their communities and offer their perspective as part of our deliberations.
The advisers are helping us consider a broader range of issues and viewpoints, filling in gaps in our own reporting on Fort Worth and the area. We’ll soon recruit new members to take their place, aiming to periodically refresh the board and bring in a wide spectrum of experience, viewpoints and diversity.
In a live-streamed panel discussion, two board members and the Star-Telegram’s opinion editor will discuss how the board works, their experience serving and what they’ve learned through the process. And they’ll answer questions: RSVP here to submit your questions in advance and receive reminder emails for our live virtual event at 11:30 a.m. Wed., Sept. 29.
