Joseph Garcia, community conversation editor for The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, has been elected to the leadership of the Associated Press Managing Editors.

During its summer meeting in New York, the association's governing board elected Garcia to the position of vice chairman of APME's Journalism Today committees, placing him in line preside over the group in 2012.

Garcia, 47, was first elected to the board in 2005, when he was editor of The Daily Times in Farmington, N.M. He previously worked for 18 years at the Tucson Citizen in Tucson, Ariz. He also served as president of the Arizona APME state organization.

Garcia began his career at The Associated Press in Denver. He has been an adjunct professor of journalism at the University of Arizona, where he graduated in 1985, and worked a summer at USA Today and Gannett News Service.

Garcia also is a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
