Professional and student SPJ 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.

Participants learned more about their individual leadership styles by completing a DiSC assessment facilitated by Jeffrey Cufaude of Idea Architects. Topics such as fundraising, using SPJ’s Web site and programming 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 Sonny Albarado delivered the State of the Society address and invited participants to engage in a Q&A session about the year ahead. The participants then had the chance to mingle with an outing to a duckpin bowling alley.
