PBM Breakfast, Nov 15, 8:30am

Our guest speaker Ed Williams will be presenting his talk “Investigating NM”. He will be introduced by our own Rev. San Williams. Ed is a renown reporter for Searchlight NM covering child welfare, social justice, data centers and other issues. In 2022, he was selected for ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network to produce stories about abuses in the foster care system and the devastating impacts on children.

Before joining Searchlight, Ed was a reporter in both the United States and Latin America, working for print, digital and radio outlets, including seven years in public radio. His numerous journalism awards include a 2022 First Amendment award and 2019 local accountability reporting award from the News Leaders Association. He has a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin.

Breakfast will include Belgium Waffles and blueberry sauce but be early because they might run out and you might get back up waffles. George Parr will lead the breakfast effort though Jim Elliott will handle the waffles and sauce. Also sausage and or bacon will be available and juice and coffee as usual.
