Program Overview
|
The NHBA Leadership Academy is a nine-month leadership-training program designed to foster the professional growth and enhance the leadership skills of a diverse group of attorneys. Its mission is:
To promote and encourage leadership and professionalism by identifying present and future leaders who are members of the New Hampshire Bar, and providing them with a program designed to develop leadership skills; to foster camaraderie; and to provide exposure to leaders in the legal, business and government communities.
Application Information and Instructions
Up to eighteen attorney members of the NHBA who have been in practice for at least three years and not more than ten years will be carefully selected for this Academy. In an effort to achieve diversity among the participants, qualified individuals will be sought from different backgrounds, large and small law firms, the private and public sectors, different practice areas, and different geographical parts of the state. Generally, the monthly programs will be four (4) to five (5) hours in duration. There may be potential CLE credit for certain sessions, but this is not guaranteed.
