DEADLINE: AAJA Executive Leadership Program

The Asian American Journalists Association's Executive Leadership Program (ELP) is a week-long immersive experience for any professional journalist interested in moving ahead in the workplace and developing the necessary skills to achieve goals small and large. ELP is challenging, practical and life-changing and is recommended for anyone with four or more years of experience in a media organization. The program explores the responsibilities and challenges of working in media and examines how cultural values come into play in newsroom dynamics.

Our 2025 program will be hybrid, with virtual sessions and in-person components. The opening session will take place in Washington, D.C. from April 23-26 and the closing session will take place during our 2025 national convention in Seattle, Washington on July 30. Participants are required to attend all live sessions. They are also responsible for having all the technology needed to attend a virtual conference, including a computer, webcam and reliable internet. 

Tuition is $1,750 for AAJA members and $2,250 for non-members. It includes the costs of training materials, meals during in-person sessions and basic registration for the 2025 AAJA National Convention.

Opportunities for assistance with tuition exist. 

Deadline to apply: Feb 28, 2025.
