Join our fabulous, fun-loving team and get the opportunity to hone your skills (and develop new ones), expand your network, and give back to your profession. We are always looking for contributors to help us bring interesting news to our readers!

In addition, we are looking for:

Interviewer: We’d love to bring an interviewer on board—someone who would interview a GLD member from time to time (1-2 times a year!) and prepare the Q/A for print.
Bloggers:  Thinking of starting a blog? Use this opportunity to practice! Already have a blog? We’d be happy to reprint relevant content. Or draft posts for our audience and reprint them on your blog! Some posts will be reprinted in interaktiv.
