Welcome to SPJ Leading Edge, a blog built just for chapter leaders. You’ll find tools and information to help build, grow and sustain active and successful chapters, the very backbone of SPJ. We’ll highlight programs, provide “best practices” for things like finance and governance and answer some of the most popular leadership questions. Contact Tara Puckey, SPJ Chapter Coordinator, for anything and everything chapter related.

Last call!

Today is the deadline for the first round of SPJ Chapter Grants. So if you don’t get on the ball, you’ll have to wait until the next round, which ends Sept. 5.
Remember:
- Apply online
- Have plans for a unique, cool or amazing program
- Proposals should be submitted for programs occurring within 90 days of the cycle deadline
- Grant proposals must be submitted for each deadline, they do not automatically rollover
- Chapters selected will receive funds AFTER the chapter submits the required grant program recap, along with receipts, within 15 days of the completion of the program
