Gloria Steinem has been an iconic feminist leader and inspiration to many of us in JAWS, so we are especially pleased to welcome her this year to speak to us, experience CAMP (Conference and Mentoring Project) and meet up with old and new friends.

Each year, JAWS CAMP (Conference and Mentoring Project) focuses on strengthening core journalism skills, building personal brands and careers, developing strategies for success in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, and improving the status of women in journalism.

JAWS’ annual gathering for our Conference and Mentoring Project will be at the Tamaya Resort & Spa near Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 26 – 28, 2012
