Get support, find camaraderie and advance your career in this renowned Poynter leadership program

The Poynter Leadership Academy for Women in Media has transformed the careers of more than 650 people since 2015. During a week often described as overflowing with “Poynter magic,” each participant learns to manage teams more effectively, hone and communicate their strategic vision and steer their organizations toward success. But perhaps more importantly, graduates join a global community of support.
This camaraderie is established during the program through honest, candid and often vulnerable conversations, hands-on activities, unstructured time to socialize, and shared experiences. Each participant’s circle expands after the program as alumni from different classes network, connect online and in person, and even mentor each other.
Our program welcomes all women, including cis and trans women, as well as nonbinary and gender nonconforming journalists who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women in media.
This leadership academy is open to 30 participants. Tuition is $1,350 and the training will take place March 24-28, 2025, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Apply by Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.
