The Vanguard Editorial Board has some vacancies and we are reaching out to our readership for interested parties to apply.
The Vanguard Editorial Board is an advisory board that assists the editor with policies, planning, events, and acts as a sounding board when operational issues arise.
Time commitments vary but, generally speaking, regular meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8. Members may also be asked to participate in subcommittee activity and assist on fundraisers and community events.
The Vanguard is looking for a broad and diverse group of people who are energetic and can bring fresh new ideas.
To apply, send a cover letter and resume to: info@davisvanguard.org
Hey Frankly, Sam, Quielo, SOD, Miwok, let’s go apply.
you would be welcome.

You say that now, but after a week of Vanguard stories that include:
Why the $15 minimum wage is a Bad Idea
Time to get rid of Public sector Unions
Liberals are “pro choice” on most things, why won’t they let people “choose” to pay Union Dues?
and
Why UCD does not need transgender bathrooms
I’m not sure you would be as happy with the new editorial board…
Having my opinions contradicted does not affect my happiness. Arrogance, presumption, and bigotry are what make me angry. When someone disagrees with an opinion of mine, and is capable of doing so in a rational, fact based way, I love those exchanges. People can even vehemently disagree with me, and I will not hold malice towards them. I only hold malice towards those who hold to their opinions based on pride alone, and not facts. People who would rather retreat to their pre established talking points and world views than actually be bothered to learn something new, or consider a differing opinion drive me nuts.
BP, in the past I have talked in person to both Frankly and Miwok about joining the Editorial Board, and I have issued that same invitation to you here on the V (at the time of all three I was a Vanguard Editorial Board member, which I no longer am). I think you would be a great addition to the Editorial Board, and renew my support of your taking the plunge.
BP, +1
I would not join any club that would have me as a member.
Feel likewise, and know I’d just get a “thank you for your interest, but…” response if I actually did… however, IF I applied, and was accepted, would require myself to “come out of” the pseudonym category.
Thank you Groucho Marx

Interesting how you “know” something before giving it a try. Why not come down and talk with us ? You might be right, you might be wrong…..either way, you don’t “know” until you are willing to put yourself out there.
I just looked out the window and saw a pig flying south for the winter. I think I’ll join the Vanguard editorial board.
Alan, I would heartily support your candidacy for the Vanguard Editorial Board. You would be a great addition to that merry band of men and women.
I will take your recommendation with the same seriousness, joy and intention that I took when Bob Dunning wrote an article recommending I run for City Council. I’d never met the man except nodding in passing.
Gotta go now. Strapping on my wings and flapping furiously. That pig is disappearing behind the site lines of where the fifth story of Lincoln 40 will/may be. Gotta catch up to that pig.
“Flapping” does nothing… fly or stand… think you are better “standing”, and articulating real issues, however clumsily at times (rarely)…
I’m a man, not a bird.
How does the pig do it?
