Ted Scripps
SPJ Leadership Institute

As the youngest-ever president of Sigma Delta Chi, now the Society of Professional Journalists, Ted Scripps had an abiding interest in the organization. Today, with the support of his sons, Ed and Will, SPJ trains its local chapter leaders at the Ted Scripps Leadership Institute, held annually in Indianapolis. T raining in organizational skills, chapter development, fundraising, member recruitment and budgeting are just part of the program aimed at strengthening SPJ. The weekend program is open to SPJ members who are current leaders or will be taking on leadership roles in local chapters.
