Deadline is May 31 to apply for @journalists.org's 2026 Women's Leadership Accelerator! I'm coordinating it & while I know it's amazing, our alumni say it better: "best decisions I've made for my ... career" & "you can't comprehend the value..." Apply: www.journalists.org/womens-leade...

"The Women's Leadership
Accelerator came at a time when I needed both clarity and conviction.
It helped me recognize the purpose in this season of my life and equipped me with the tools, confidence, and community to step fully into what's next."
from Monique O. Madan, 2025 Women's Leadership Accelerator

"The Women's Leadership Accelerator came at a time when I craved more training and guidance on being a better leader. I had direct reports for the first time, and I wanted to learn how to better lead a team with empathy. This program was the best decision l've made for my professional career. I walked away with a supportive community and practical tools that will last me a lifetime."
from Donesha Aldridge, 2022 Women's Leadership Accelerator

"You can't comprehend the value of being in community with other women in the industry — women who you likely would not have met otherwise — until you participate in a program like WLA and feel how differently you move through the world, professionally and personally, because of it."
from Amory Sivertson, 2025 Women's Leadership Accelerator
