The Bar Leadership institute
it is incredible to see how the Leadership institute has grown
from Caroline (Black Sikorske)’s vision to today.
I
n 2007, then HCBA President
Caroline Black Sikorske con -
tacted a group of young lawyers
to see if we had an interest in
helping her launch a flagship
program for her Bar year — the Bar
Leadership Institute (BLI). Her vision was
to establish a program to help the HCBA
identify and train young lawyers to
become leaders of the Bar and the
community at large.
I had just finished my term as president
of the Young Lawyers Division when she
pitched the idea, and I candidly admit that
I was a little concerned that the BLI might
interfere with or dilute the YLD, which
was already a proven training ground for
Bar leadership. Fortunately, I did not share
those thoughts with Caroline, and an
excellent team of young lawyers designed
and then put themselves through the
program as the inaugural BLI class.
