SBM offers a year-long Leadership Institute for mid-career members. The institute kicks off with an in-person, two-day workshop where participant fellows attend skill-building sessions and engage with former participants. Then, throughout the institute year, fellows develop their own self-identified leadership projects, and receive one-on-one coaching from professional coaches and peer-group mentoring from SBM leaders.

The purpose of the SBM Monica Baskin Diversity Institute for Emerging Leaders is to help early-career members from diverse backgrounds or those who are working with those from underrepresented populations develop into effective, thoughtful leaders by fostering leadership skills and a deep understanding of the principles of diversity and inclusion. The Diversity Institute is a year-long endeavor, featuring an intensive one-day, in-person workshop followed by ongoing small-group mentorship.
