SMBA Members Selected for MoBar Leadership Academy

Three SMBA young lawyers have been selected for the 2017-18 Missouri Bar Leadership Academy: Austin Fax, Lowther Johnson; Jody Larison, United States Attorney's Office; and Jacob Lewis, Strong-Garner-Bauer, P.C. will participate in the class of 13 emerging leaders.  

The Missouri Bar’s Leadership Academy mission is to recruit, train and retain recently admitted Missouri lawyers for leadership positions within The Missouri Bar. The academy is offered to Missouri lawyers who are less than 40 years old or who have been admitted to practice for 10 years or fewer, with an emphasis on diversity of ethnicity, culture, gender, area of practice and region within the state.  Members of each year's class participate in The Missouri Bar Annual Meeting, Board of Governors meetings, spring and fall committee meetings and workshops specifically designed for the Leadership Academy. For one year, the class works closely with bar leaders to learn more about The Missouri Bar, cultivate leadership skills and develop a public service project, which the class takes full responsibility for completing before the end of the class year. At the end of the year, members commit to serve the bar in an active capacity for two years.
