A female journalist has made history after winning a tough election battle for the top spot at the Ghana Journalists Association. Ivy Priscilla Setordjie beat her rivals to become the first woman Vice Chairperson for the Volta Region chapter. She brings more than twenty years of media experience to her new role. Her campaign message focused on leadership through experience and global exposure. Association members voted her into office after a close race against other candidates.
Setordjie plans to shake things up for older journalists who have been forgotten after retirement. Many former media workers sit at home without support or recognition from their colleagues. Some battle illness without visits from the association they once served faithfully. She wants to organize special retreats where veteran journalists can share stories with younger reporters. The new leader believes retired members deserve better treatment from their professional family.
Her agenda centers on three main goals that will change how the association operates. First comes creating a welfare system that takes care of former journalists who gave years of service. The second focuses on lifting women reporters through mentorship programs and leadership training. The third involves building skills for young media professionals through investigative journalism courses and digital media workshops.
The association will expand its membership through aggressive recruitment drives across the region. Setordjie promises equal treatment for all members regardless of their background or connections. She plans to work with banks to teach financial literacy and create alternative income opportunities. Training programs will help journalists upgrade their academic qualifications through scholarships and grants.
Female reporters will receive special attention through platforms designed to boost their careers. Setordjie wants more women covering sports and other areas traditionally dominated by men. She promises to collaborate with the newly elected chairperson to promote unity within the association. Every journalist from past generations to current members will feel valued under her leadership approach.
