IndyBar: Bar Leader Class XX to Celebrate Service and Success

Each year, the Indianapolis Bar Association’s Bar Leader Series provides a group of Indianapolis legal community rising stars with the tools and experiences to further their growth as future leaders of the organized bar and the Indianapolis community. Class XX recently completed the course and will be celebrating their success while sharing details of the community service program they have designed at a June graduation celebration.

Through insight from and interaction with top leaders in our community, a skills building retreat, and group discussion, class members have spent the past twelve months developing skills and have been cultivating the ability to motivate and inspire others.

The series has been led by the Honorable Jane Magnus-Stinson and Magistrate Judge Mario Garcia, both of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
