LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE SEEKS PARTICIPANTS FOR 2010-2011!
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Leadership Institute is a one-year 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 an emphasis on racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability and geographic diversity.
Up to 15 attorneys selected to participate in the Leadership Institute
will:
- Receive up to two years of CLE credit;
- Receive leadership and related education and training in an
experiential and mentoring learning environment;
- Receive 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. However, the fee can be waived based on financial need. The program is a two-year commitment. The 2009-2010 program starts in September 2009 with a completion date of May 2010. Following the completion of the program, participants will commit to 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).
