The Nevada Press Association held its Annual Membership Meeting and elected new
officers and directors for the 2025–2027 term. The organization's leadership team will
guide efforts to support Nevada's news media, uphold press freedom, and provide training
and resources to member publications.
Rachel Dahl, founder and publisher of The Fallon Post, has been elected as Second Vice
President of the Nevada Press Association. This appointment recognizes her contributions
to community journalism and places her in a key leadership position within the state's
premier press organization.
As Second Vice President, Dahl will work alongside the executive team to strengthen the
Association's mission and support member publications across Nevada. Her role comes
during a transformative period for the organization, as the NPA implements new
governance structures and expands its advocacy efforts.
The complete roster of elected officers includes:
∙President: Bob Conrad, This Is Reno
∙First Vice President: Adam Trumble, Eagle Valley Publishing
∙Second Vice President: Rachel Dahl, The Fallon Post
∙Treasurer: Scott Sibley, Nevada Legal News
∙Immediate Past President: Anastasia Hendrix, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Three directors were also elected: Peggy Santoro (Reno Gazette-Journal), Hali Bernstein
Saylor (The Nevada Independent), and Dana Gentry (Nevada Current). Dave Mondt of the
Las Vegas Sun continues serving with one year remaining on his term.
Members approved a bylaws amendment extending officer terms from one year to two
years. This change aligns board leadership terms with Nevada's biennial legislative session
cycle, allowing officers like Dahl more time to prepare for and participate in legislative
advocacy efforts. The extended terms are expected to strengthen the Association's policy
work and provide leadership continuity during critical legislative periods.
NPA Executive Director Brian Allfrey said the new leadership team “reflects the strength
and diversity of Nevada's press” and will help navigate the changing media landscape while
advocating for press freedoms at the legislature.
The Association plans to focus on enhanced training opportunities, improved awards
program visibility, and exploration of future convention venues in Southern Nevada during
the upcoming term.
