Mark Maassen's retirement reception

Posted

Thank you to everyone who came Thursday to Columbia to wish Mark Maassen well as he prepares to retire from Executive Director of Missouri Press Association. He has worked for the Association since 2015 but also served as president in 2013. During his remarks, Mark said he felt fortunate to be ending his career two blocks away from where it started 45 years ago. As a student at the Missouri School of Journalism, he spent a semester selling advertising for the Columbia Missourian and another as a sports reporter at the newspaper before graduating in 1980.
