Brong Ahafo GJA Seeks To Increase Membership

The Brong Ahafo branch of the Ghana Journalists Association
(GJA) is looking forward to increase its membership.

In a speech delivered at the swearing-in of the
newly-elected regional executives on Friday, December 15, 2017, Brong-Ahafo
Regional Chairman of the GJA, Larry Paa Kwesi Moses said it is the priority of
the association to increase its membership from next year.

“It is very sad to note that despite the proliferation of
the media in the region, the regional branch of the association has only 31
members, which I strongly believe, is not the best and I am entreating those
who are not members to register for their own good.

“It’s the priority of the association to increase its
membership, and from next year, my administration is going to intensify
membership drive in the various districts and Municipalities in the region to
convince media practitioners who are not members on the need for them to join
the association,” he said.

He added that a lot of benefits are there to be grab as the
association under the presidency of Dr. Roland Affail Monney has signed memoranda
of understanding with some development partners who will from 2018 sponsor
deserving members to undertake top up courses both at home and abroad.

The Brong Ahafo Regional Chairman of GJA also called on
Journalists to endeavour to demonstrate a high sense of professionalism and
civility in their reportage. 

He concluded by calling on members to bury their
differences, forge ahead in unity and help identify and address challenges that
confront the association.
