LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE SEEKS PARTICIPANTS FOR 2010-2011!
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Leadership Institute is a nine-month program designed to foster the professional growth and enhance the leadership skills of a diverse group of Arizona attorneys. In doing so, we hope to increase participation and visibility in the State Bar and community-at-large among historically under-represented groups, with a focus on racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability and geographic diversity.
The attorneys selected to participate in the Leadership Institute receive:
- Up to two years of CLE credit;
- Leadership and related education and training in an experiential and mentoring learning environment;
- Opportunities to foster relationships with the State Bar of Arizona, minority, women, diversity and specialty bar associations, the Judicial, Legislative and Executive Branches of State government, and community leaders
The program fee is $150 but subject to change. However, the fee can be waived based on an applicant’s financial need. The program is a two-year commitment. The normal starting date is in September, with a completion date of May.
Following the completion of the program, participants are required to commit to an additional one year of activity in the State Bar in some capacity (e.g. committee, section, or by special appointment, and/or participation in another bar association or community organization).
Program Sessions
Program sessions cover a variety of topics ranging from leadership development, ethics and career development, to conversations with judges, government attorneys, in-house counsel and executives, etc. Sessions occur monthly starting with an overnight retreat usually on a weekend. Subsequent monthly sessions are held on Fridays.
