JEFFERSON CITY – The New Territory Magazine recently added three new directors to its nonprofit board: Leslie VonHolten of Lawrence, KS; Sara Maillacheruvu of Chicago, IL; and Cheyenne White of Topeka, KS.
“Our directors share true passion for telling new stories about the Lower Midwest,” says board president Emily Render. “The new directors bring skills that will not only help foster writers, editors, and artists in our region, but also help send a high-quality magazine to our readers’ mailboxes.”
The 13-person board supports the organization’s mission to advocate and foster love and protection of the Great Plains, Ozarks, and Lower Midwest through publishing art and narrative writing focused on personal, natural and societal stories.
This year marks the 10th consecutive year of publishing the biannual, full-color print magazine.
“I am thrilled to welcome Sara, Leslie, and Cheyenne to our leadership in time to celebrate a big milestone,” says Tina Casagrand Foss, The New Territory Magazine founder and executive director. “Sara was a top-level editor with us for many years, so she knows the magazine intimately. Leslie and Cheyenne have both been champions of regional storytelling and are experts in art and material culture. They’re also expanding our reach across Illinois and Kansas, bringing us closer to fully representing a regional scope to which we aspire.”
