From SPJ’s Leading Edge Newsletter:

If you are looking for a great program idea to build a membership campaign around, consider the continuing education program being conducted by the Western Washington Chapter. They conduct an eight-week, skills-based series designed to help journalists stay on their toes.

This series is one of their most popular and best attended annual programs, and they do most of it at low or no cost.  They have also been able to get chapter grants from national SPJ to help them cover their costs.

The chapter makes the program free to SPJ Members and charges $10 per class for non SPJ members. Of course, anyone may register to become an SPJ member at any class to receive the class free. They also provide free parking, pizza and bottled water.

And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Region 10 Director Dana Neuts via email or phone at 360-920-1737.
