Accra, March 12, GNA- Mrs Linda Asante Agyei, an Editor of the GNA has joined the race to contest the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) vice presidential position in the elections of the Association slated for March 31.
Mrs Asante Agyei has been a two-time treasurer of the GJA since 2009 till date and if given the nod, she would be the second female journalist to occupy that position in the history of the GJA after Mrs Gifty Afenyi Dadzie.
She has more than 20 years experience as a Journalist with the nation’s only wireless media, and has risen through ranks to become an editor of the prestigious media house with extensive coverage in health and science over the years.
Mrs Asante Agyei, when elected, brings to the table a vast experience in the finances and welfare of journalists and in particular members of the GJA, to ensure that that the Association restructures its operation to meet the demand of the times.
In the history of the GJA, two seasoned female journalists in the persons of Mrs Afenyi-Dadzie and Ms Ajoa Yeboah Afari had been elected to the highest position of President from 1996 to 2006 and they performed creditably.
In an interview, she indicated that her motivation to contest for the vice presidential slot followed the call from all quarters that women must be heard in all spheres of affairs.
She said she wanted to prove that the woman’s position in the Association should not always be Treasurer.
Mrs Asante Agyei is therefore appealing to all members of the Association both males and females to vote massively for her to be able to help the president to be elected to steer the affairs of the Association for the next three years to the benefit of all journalists.
