The New York Guild’s Representative Assembly (RA) has named Erik Piepenburg of Times Digital as its candidate to replace Sarah Graham, who left the Executive Committee when she left her job at Times Digital for a non-Guild position in the company. Piepenburg, who is unit chairperson at Times Digital, was nominated without opposition at the March 15 RA Meeting.
