Russell Davis joins SFWA leadership
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) sent a message to members on October 15, 2024, announcing that Russell Davis is being brought in for “a transitional leadership position.” Interim President Anthony W. Eichenlaub said
Recent resignations prove to us how much we’ve come to depend on our staff while also highlighting flaws in the structure of our organization. SFWA must change as it rebuilds… [Davis] knows SFWA well, understands corporate structure, and is already getting up to speed.
Eichenlaub also announced that, “At last week’s Board meeting we discussed new formats for the Nebula Conference that will allow us to serve both members and non-members without burning out volunteers or staff,” as well as plans for a new confidentiality policy that will aid “a cultural shift toward transparency for the organization. Change is easier when it happens in the light of day.”
As previously announced, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) is holding a special election, following the resignations of president Jeffe Kennedy and vice-president Chelsea Mueller, among others.
