MBA Leadership Academy

The Massachusetts Bar Association believes that exceptional leaders are essential to the improvement of our profession. However, there are few opportunities to train young attorneys on how to best lead firms and organizations.

Continuing its commitment to cultivating leaders who work diligently toward the improvement of our profession and our society, the MBA has developed a Leadership Academy to better prepare young attorneys to assume leadership roles at the bar, in their firms or organizations, and in government.

Individuals chosen for the MBA Leadership Academy must commit to active participation in all MBA Leadership Academy activities. After successful completion of the academy's curriculum of educational programming and mentoring, MBA Leadership Academy graduates will be better prepared to assume leadership roles at the bar, in their firms or organizations, and in government.
