Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Leader In The MSBA?

What is the MSBA Leadership Academy?

The Maryland State Bar Association Leadership Academy offers a 12 month program designed to assist lawyers become better leaders and offering opportunities for future leadership roles in the MSBA.

Each year 15 Fellows are chosen from applications submitted to the MSBA. During their term, the Fellows will spend time attending MSBA events, developing and implementing a public service project, as well as attending a special program on public speaking, media relations, interviewing skills, conducting effective meeting, budgeting and many other related areas. Fellows establish a relationship with past Bar Presidents and current bar leaders to learn more about the MSBA and to enhance leadership skills.

Team building is a significant part of the Academy, wherein the Fellows develop relationships that will last long after the Academy. The skills the Fellows learn will benefit the MSBA, the local or specialty bar associations and the public as a whole.

2011/2012 ANNUAL REPORT:

The Leadership Academy, designed to nurture and develop talented young lawyers who have been identified from a competitive pool of applicants as having superior leadership potential, commemorated its 15th anniversary in March with a Leaders and the Law Event, where those that have been instrumental in making this program successful were honored and acknowledged. The Committee also made key revisions and updates to the trainings that the Fellows receive in their mandatory training sessions each month. This year’s Fellows class addressed the needs of the growing elder community and those that care for them by coordinating an Elder Law Symposium as their public service project.
