May 1 is the deadline for applications from U.S.-based women journalists for the sixth annual U.S. Leadership Institute for Women Journalists. This year’s institute will convene 20 mid-to-upper level women journalists for on-the-ground leadership training on July 20-22 in Chicago. During these three days, participants will:
- Take part in highly interactive skills-building sessions on issues crucial to effective leadership;
- Participate in small “mastermind groups” on topics participants have expressed an interest in within written questionnaires and essays submitted prior to the on-site;
- Develop a personalized action plan for future career goals; and
- Network with colleagues from across the country.
Thanks to support from the McCormick Foundation, the IWMF is offering the U.S. Leadership Institute for Women Journalists at no cost this year.
