About the Program

Have you ever wanted to get more involved in government or your community, but had no idea where to start? Are you hoping to be a leader both in and outside your office walls? Please join us for a conversation regarding alternative pathways to civic engagement and bar leadership! Attendees can expect to learn how getting involved in bar associations and affinity groups can lead to roles as a community leader, both locally and on the state level (and perhaps, even vice versa). Decisions are made by those who show up, and this comprehensive discussion will help attendees learn what “showing up” can mean, and where it can lead. 

 

Program Objectives

•  How to harness your leadership skills in the arena of civic engagement
•  Learn the various pathways a young lawyer can take to community leadership on all levels
•  Learn how getting involved with your community can broaden your understanding of the legal profession and build a career
