How did someone who started out as a hard-news reporter wind up on the society beat? Joanne Davidson, society editor of “The Denver Post” since November 1985 will answer that question and more as guest speaker during a luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at Maggiano’s in the Denver Pavilions. The event is sponsored by the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce.
She came to Colorado from her native San Francisco, where she had spent seven years working as bureau chief for U.S. News & World Report. Davidson will indulge in topics including how society reporting in Denver has evolved, is there such a thing as “society” anymore, and the debutante balls: the event everyone loves to hate.
Davidson is a journalism graduate from San Francisco State University and has won awards for feature writing, news writing and news editing. She lives in Denver with her husband, John, a retired newspaperman, and their four dogs.
Tickets are $28 for CWCC members and $38 for non-members. To register, go to www.thevx.com/members/event/146.
