The NHBA Leadership Academy is a yearlong program that aims to identify, inspire and train emerging leaders of the legal profession in New Hampshire. The Academy is open to NHBA members with three to ten years' legal experience and attracted a strong field of applicants.
This years' participants will begin their training with a two-day retreat in October 2021 at the Mountain Club at Loon in Lincoln, NH, with guest speaker Justice John T. Broderick, Jr. (ret.). The class will meet on a monthly basis for the next nine months, learning skills and receiving orientation to facets of community and professional life in New Hampshire. Working in groups, the participants will also work on a legal sector community service project.
This year's program is the seventh offered by the NHBA. The curriculum is being developed by a steering group headed by attorneys Jaye L. Rancourt (Brennan Lenehan Iacopino & Hickey) and Talesha L. Saint Marc (Bernstein Shur) , with the involvement of program alumni.
