“Wisconsin lawyers have a strong history of leadership of our profession, our communities, and our public life. This is a bold step to assure that we will identify, train, and embed a new generation of lawyer-leaders.”

“Looking back, I wish I had gotten started in leadership much earlier in my career. My advice is don’t wait. The G. Lane Ware Leadership Academy is a tremendous opportunity to learn valuable communication and organizational skills for leadership positions of all kinds – in State Bar and legal associations, in the community, and even in your own workplace.”

“The Academy will equip our lawyers with essential skills, tools, and resources to effectively lead and inspire others. This program creates a unique opportunity for lawyers to develop diverse, professional networks and personal relationships with their colleagues and to improve their professional confidence and career satisfaction.”

“Participating in the State Bar's G. Lane Ware Leadership Academy helped me realize that what I see as weaknesses in myself, people around me see as strengths and leadership qualities.”

"The G. Lane Ware Leadership Academy is a valuable experience for all lawyers seeking to positively impact their workplaces, communities, and the State Bar. Hats off to the leadership Development Committee of the State Bar for creating a great environment to learn from accomplished leaders, engage wi​th our fellow attendees, and set goals for our own leadership development. All lawyers are called to be leaders in some context, and the Leadership Academy prepares its students to be effective ones."
