Chapter leaders from around the country met in Indianapolis June 1-3 to participate in the Ted Scripps Leadership Institute. Funded by the Scripps Howard Foundation, the weekend is a chance for incoming chapter leaders to meet and develop their leadership skills.

About 50 people participated in the program, both professionals and students. Topics such as fundraising, recruitment and leadership roles were covered in a series of small group sessions. A final seminar on chapter goal setting was held on the last day.

After the welcome dinner on Friday evening, President-Elect Clint Brewer delivered the State of the Society address and invited participants to engage in a Q&A session with executive board members. The participants then had the chance to get to know each other with an outing to a duckpin bowling alley.

He joined the UA faculty in 2003 after completing graduate studies at The University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. As a graduate student, Daniels participated in the University of Georgia’s SPJ Campus Chapter. But, his first experience with SPJ came when he received a scholarship from the Washington DC Chapter of what was then Sigma Delta Chi (SDX) in the early 1990s. In 2006, Daniels was selected as an SPJ Diversity Leadership Fellow.

At the University of Alabama, Daniels conducts research on media convergence and diversity in the media workplace. He teaches classes in scholastic journalism, media management and cross-media reporting and writing. Before moving into the academic arena, Daniels worked as a television news producer the Richmond, Va., Cincinnati, Ohio and Atlanta television markets. He is a cum laude graduate of Howard University.

“I am a member of SPJ because of its role as an umbrella organization concerned for all journalists and its emphasis on recognizing and encouraging young journalists and their continuing education.”
