Published on January 3, 2022
MONTGOMERY – The Alabama State Bar on Monday announced the lawyers selected for Leadership Forum Class 16.
Leadership Forum is honored as a dynamic and highly effective program for nurturing and developing leadership skills and values among a select group of qualified, promising attorneys each year. Entry to the program is competitive, with just 20-30 participants selected each year. Since its inception in 2005, Leadership Forum has illuminated a pathway for more than 430 graduates to move the profession forward with ethical, servant-minded and community leadership.
“The Alabama State Bar constantly emphasizes service as it encourages its 19,000+ members to develop their leadership skills so that they can better serve their communities, our State and society in general. The Bar’s Leadership Forum is an excellent example of a Bar program that prepares Bar members for their future leadership with charitable organizations, local or State governing boards and councils, and political office,” said Alabama State Bar President Taze Shepard. “It exemplifies the State Bar’s motto, Lawyers Render Service.”
