What Is the WSBA Leadership Institute? Many young lawyers, particularly women, those of color, and those from traditionallyunder-represented groups, have not been recruited for leadership positions or made aware of opportunities for skill development, professional growth, and leadership training available through the WSBA. In response,the WSBA Board of Governors decidedin 2004to create a leadership development program for a select group of young lawyers, and theWSBA Leadership Institute was born.


The mission of the WSBA Leadership Institute is to recruit, train, and retain Washington attorneys who have been admitted to practice for three to 10 years for leadership positions in the legal community and in the WSBA. Program participants ("fellows") will be selected with an emphasis on diversity (racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, disability, cultural, and geographic). An additional benefit ofthis program will be expansion of leadership potential for local, minority, and specialty bar associations.
