Komives named SND Quick Course Director

More great news from region 3: The new Quick Course Director is Stephen Komives of the Orlando Sentinel.

Stephen has a long history with SND. His work has won multiple SND awards, including a silver medal in 2006 for a four-page papal timeline "From St. Peter to the New Day." In 2002, he helped judge the 14,000+ entries in SND's international competition in Syracuse, N.Y. Later that year, he rescued SND's annual workshop by reorganizing it from Buenos Aires to Savannah, Ga., in a matter of months when the Argentine economy collapsed. In 2006, he served as President of the Jury for the prestigious Malofiej Infographics Competition in Pamplona, Spain. And he was very instrumental in bringing SND's annual workshop to Orlando last year, securing $15,000 in grants for student journalists. He's also been a speaker at several SND and industry events.
