Colorado Bar Association Leadership Training

COBALT will be composed of an initial retreat (one full day and two half days), four one-day workshops, and one day and a half workshop on substantive issues, and a graduation celebration. The schedule is listed below. The 2009 class will include 20 lawyers, of varying ages, experience levels, and from different parts of the state. Each participant must make a commitment of eight and a half days over six months to the process.   CLE may be available for some of the programs but it is not a goal of the project. 

 

COBALT is an interactive leadership training program designed specifically for lawyers with demonstrated leadership skills and commitment to the legal community. Members of the Steering Committee, comprising former graduates of the COBALT program, plan each day of programming with the intent to not only teach leadership skills, but also to address challenges faced by leaders in the legal community and the general community, inspire and energize students, and facilitate a group learning experience. The benefit of the training will vary depending on each individual’s level of experience, commitment, participation, and interest in the program. Prior students have described COBALT as being both professionally and personally rewarding, although each person will describe the individual benefits of the program differently.  Applicants are encouraged to contact a member of the 2009 Steering Committee or past participants of the program with questions regarding his or her personal experience. Links to the contact information for the Steering Committee and prior class members is on the left navigation bar.
