Tools and Tips for Leaders
Congratulations! In addition to working a hectic schedule and balancing a life away from the job, you've taken on the added responsibility of helping to define the direction of SPJ. We couldn’t do the work without you. In an effort to make your leadership a bit easier, we’ve compiled a large reservoir of tools to help you lead.
Learn how to access chapter membership reports to maximize involvement and grow membership. Browse the resources developed for the Ted Scripps Leadership Institute held every June in Indianapolis for information on everything, including chapter leadership, fundraising, programming, recruitment/retention and promotions.
Just added: Programming 101: Programming is the bloodstream of a chapter. It keeps the heart pumping, brings needed ideas to the brain and keeps people in circulation. Whether you’re a pro or student chapter, the benchmark of whatever success you have is dependent upon how much creativity, energy and improvisation you can generate through chapter programs.
The Public & the Press: Ethics in Today's Media Climate:
Events Begin April 28!
The Society of Professional Journalists and the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation believe it is critical to bring the public and the press together to discuss journalism ethics and why they matter, especially in today’s whirlwind media climate. To accomplish this, SPJ and the SDX Foundation are awarding chapter grants for a grass-roots series of interactive public forums in cities across the country that will bring news consumers and journalists together to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Chapters interested in receiving grants and participating in this program can follow this link for additional information and an online application. Proposals are due by midnight, EST, on Monday, April 12, 2010.
The Leading Edge:
SPJ Leading Edge is a monthly newsletter designed to provide chapter leaders and officers with the tools and information to help lead a chapter, grow and retain membership and improve and protect journalism in your communities.
Leadership Training:
For SPJ student and professional chapters to be successful, they must do the right thing in the right way. The Ted Scripps Leadership Institute helps participants learn how to do just that by offering a mix of sessions focused on interpersonal and organizational leadership skills, as well as sound chapter management practices. Read all about the 2009 program, and apply today to participate.
