The New Voices Texas leadership team consists of eight student officers, four specialists, and an advisor officer. Collaborating to develop a more diverse community of supporters, the student leaders aim to pass legislation that will clarify the roles of students, advisors, and administrators involved in the student publication process.

The Regional Organizing Team strives to build a more pronounced coalition of student journalists across the entire state. Four officers have been assigned to serve as Regional Organizers for the North, East, West and Central/South Texas regions as specified on the Texas Education Agency’s Education Service Center Map.
