Community Editorial Board
The Community Editorial Board (CEB) is a new CT Mirror project to amplify diverse voices and perspectives.
The Connecticut Mirror invites eight to 12 community members to join the Community Editorial Board for year-long terms. During this time they will write opinion essays on their areas of expertise or interest and provide perspective to the CT Mirror news staff.
Learn more about this year’s Community Editorial Board members here. Mercy A. Quaye is the first-ever editor of the Community Editorial Board.
