The Project for Attorney Retention, an initiative of the Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law, is pleased to announce the 2011 Hastings Leadership Academy for Women, an executive education program designed for women law firm partners, but open to all partners. The program is designed to help experienced women lawyers stride confidently to the highest levels of success in their law firms, their communities and the legal profession.

Leadership Academy participants learn skills, knowledge and techniques that will enable them to assume leadership roles and make their contributions visible, valued and rewarded.

The course curriculum has been designed to provide a unique, hands-on learning experience and will be taught by distinguished faculty from leading law schools, business schools, and law practice. Learning will be enhanced by opportunities to build a strong network of other partners with leadership aspirations and responsibilities. The program includes follow-up "check-in" calls during the year for small groups and a webinar on a topic to be decided.
