I'd like to take a quick moment to wish every one in INBA - and other visitors to our web site - a safe and happy holiday season.

This is an exciting time for INBA. We're involved in quite a few things right now...all aimed at protecting - and even expanding - your hard earned press freedoms.

None of these efforts would be possible without YOU, our members. I've said it before - and it sounds somewhat trite - but there is, indeed, strength in numbers. As our organization continues to grow, member-wise, we're gaining more and more respect as an advocate for good journalism and open government.

So, THANK YOU to our members for your support! On behalf of your INBA board of directors, HAPPY HOLIDAYS...and all the best in 2005!

Steve Scott
INBA President
