2026 SPJ Leadership Institute Application

2026 SPJ Leadership Institute Application
The 2026 SPJ Leadership Institute is July 17-19 in Indianapolis. A limited number of participants will be accepted. Deadline to submit applications is June 8. Applicants will be notified whether they have been accepted by June 15.

SPJ will cover lodging and some meal expenses during the institute. SPJ can also cover transportation costs, but, due to rapidly rising prices for airline tickets, we are asking local chapters to help defray costs. Please note below whether your chapter can cover some or all of your transportation costs.
