The director-at-large candidates are Marshall Adams of KDKA Pittsburgh (radio), KGO San Francisco's David Louie, Chip Mahaney of E.W. Scripps and Mary Rogus of Ohio University.

RTDNA voting members may nominate additional candidates at the business meeting April 12 in Vegas. Candidates for at-large director must be news managers or news staff and RTDNA members in good standing for at least one year.

"This competitive field of at-large candidates confirms the wisdom shown by the Board and RTDNA members in opening up board representation to include all news staff," said RTDNA Chairperson Stacey Woelfel. "This diverse group of professionals features strong leaders and committed professionals across radio, television, digital and student media platforms."
