Review for Journalism And Women Symposium, Grandville, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

JAWS is an amazing organization of female journalists--simultaneously dead-serious and raucously funny, immensely supportive and highly challenging. From the very first time I attended "camp," the annual symposium, I was more than welcomed. People roped me into conversations and meals, offered their guest rooms if I ever traveled to their cities, were generous with their time and connections, and urged me to aim high and higher. These profound friends have asked me to double-check my sources, given me phone numbers and inside knowledge, and let me help them when I could. Give! Join! Come make new friends and connections, and change journalism into a field that better supports women!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Sources, connections, friendships, ideas, fundraising, job-hunting.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Urge more of us to be active in bringing in new members.
