Rachel Alterman Wallack, MSW, Executive Director
A native Atlantan, Rachel's experience writing for Junior Scholastic and Business Atlanta magazines inspired her to help start VOX Teen Communications with a team of volunteer teens and adults in 1993. Rachel earned her master's degree in social work at night in order to support teens involved in VOX's programs, and she has since volunteered and consulted with several local non-profits in the area of youth development, youth in governance and organizational leadership, and non-profit organizational development. Her role at VOX today is to guide strategic planning and Board Development, support our adult staff and help secure the resources we need.
This summer, Rachel will transition to a different part-time role at VOX, advancing our growth and strategic plan, as VOX employs a new, full-time executive director. Read VOX's full-time Executive Director job announcement.

Richard L. Eldredge, Associate Editor
A graduate of Parkview High School in Lilburn, Rich has been happily committing acts of journalism ever since his first Parkview Pantera article criticizing the school’s cafeteria was published late in the last millennium. Some of his first bylines appeared in Atlanta magazine. He then spent 16 years at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, contributing to 1-A and the Metro, Business, Features, Arts, Travel and Sports sections, covering everything from the 1996 Summer Olympics to Coretta Scott King’s seven-hour televised funeral attended by four presidents in 2007. He also wrote more than 4,000 editions of the AJC’s popular Peach Buzz column and edited “Celestine Sibley, Reporter,” a 2001 collection of his late newspaper colleague’s journalism. In 2010, he returned to Atlanta magazine where he currently serves as a contributing editor and writes the digital column Eldredge ATL. Rich connected with VOX as an instructor at the 2011 VOX Media Cafe and hasn't looked back since.
