About the Publishers
The publishers of The Guide for LDS in Southern Nevada are a husband-wife team who produce the publication with what they as Church leaders would like to have access to.
Ed and Ranae met on the Banyan yearbook staff at BYU, where each had an opportunity to serve as its Editor (1978-1979 and 1975-1980).
Upon graduating in 1980 (Public Relations and Magazine Journalism respectively) both were involved in producing a weekly newspaper in Millard County Utah for four years before moving to Hawaii where Ed worked for BYU-HC as an assistant director of University Relations and director of the Publications Office; Ranae resurrected the university's yearbook and served as its editor.
After coming to Las Vegas in 1987 (Ed returning to where he serve his mission and Ranae to her "hometown") both became involved with the Latter Day Sentinel newspaper chain, managing the Nevada operations. Ed's favorite experience was producing the content for two special issues that covered the LDS Scout Encampment at what was to become the Spencer W. Kimball Scout Reservation (Camp Potosi).
Currently Ed serves in the Desert Sage Ward bishopric and Ranae as the ward's Relief Society President.
Both have been very involved in the Church, publishing and public relations for the Church.
Their publishing philosophy stems from the belief that content is most important in the publishing process and that it takes more than a computer, some software and access to a printing press to create a viable publication.
We work to make the LDS Guide useful to the membership and leadership of the Church, while protecting as best as possible information that should not be made public.
Edward and Ranae Kanet
