What an incredible start to Leadership Academy 2025! The #LeadershipAcademy2025 orientation on Jan. 10 was an inspiring kickoff to this year’s journey. The 2025 class heard numerous thought-provoking presentations from leaders in the Austin legal community. Some highlights:
• A tour of the Texas Supreme Court, hosted by Justice Brett Busby.
• Engaging talks from Austin Bar President Mary-Ellen King and AYLA President Emily Morris.
• Leadership lessons and career development advice from Justice Karin Crump and Judge Jessica Mangrum.
• A special moment celebrating the investiture of Judge Sherine Thomas. And we wrapped up the day with a fantastic happy hour!
