Leadership Vision

The Leadership Institute is designed to advance a vision of the future state of our legal aid community, one in which:

• There is a growing community of leaders in a broad array of roles who speak a common language about how to envision, plan, and carry out their work
• Leadership is intentionally and consistently more diverse, with a vibrant sharing of ideas and authority among leaders of different generations and backgrounds
• Legal aid organizations participate in a constant and vital re-imagining of their roles as agents of social change, a process that builds upon community interests and strengths
• Leaders increasingly mirror the diversity of the communities we serve
• Legal aid programs are energizing workplaces where the ideas and talents of all advocates are respected and developed
• Leadership is participatory, inclusive and facilitative
• Leadership is credible and accountable.
