IWMF Calls for Leadership Institute Applications, USA

The IWMF is now accepting 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. Applications will be accepted until May 1, 2009.
