Hi ,

For the past decade, we've watched 650+ women and nonbinary journalists transform into strategic leaders through Poynter's Leadership Academy for Women.

Is 2026 your year to join our global network? Or does someone in your circle come to mind — a colleague who's ready for the next level or a friend navigating new leadership challenges?

If so, forward them this message. It's a meaningful way to champion their growth.
 
But act fast — applications for our 2026 cohort close
Monday, Dec. 15.

Want to know what makes this program different? Listen to Kate Cox, the academy's lead instructor and a 2022 graduate:
 
"Every day, I lugged my imposter syndrome into Poynter, took a bazillion notes on things I wish I’d known and could’ve done better, and on the last day, awoke to a laser-beam of Florida sun and an epiphany: I wanted to support other leaders in making journalism more humane for journalists," she said. 
 
"I had no idea how to get there, but the people in my cohort and our women’s leadership academy faculty were proof that leading with our values opens the right doors."
DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE
The next cohort is forming now. The selected group gathers at Poynter on March 23-27, 2026.

Be part of it or help someone else find their breakthrough. Final day to apply is Dec. 15, 2025.
