Young women working in digital media are welcome to appy for the Poynter’s Leadership Academy. It is fourth year, that the Leadership Academy for Women in Digital Media is returning to campus in St. Petersburg, Florida, the week of March 18-23, 2018. The application deadline is at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, November 30th.
This transformative program focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to rise to the highest levels of digital media leadership. Sessions will cover how to develop effective management styles, handle difficult situations, manage burnout, master negotiation tactics and build collaborative teams.
All attendees will receive one-on-one coaching during and after the program, and create personal leadership strategies designed to take their careers to the next level. Poynter will select a group of 28 women working in digital media that represent need and diversity across race, geography, technology platforms, organization size and skill sets. Because of the small size of the class, the selection committee will give preference to women leaders currently working in digital media who can demonstrate an aptitude and potential for leadership through current projects and references.
Application requirements include previous work history, an example of a digital project the applicant has worked on, a short bio, a reference letter, and a photo.
Tuition for the academy is free. Participants will cover their own travel and accommodation costs. However, a limited number of travel stipends are available and will be determined once the application process is completed.
