Andrea R. Young, a plaintiff’s attorney with Charles E. Boyk Law Offices of Holland, is among 12 Ohio attorneys to graduate from the Ohio State Bar Association’s 2022 Leadership Academy on June 16.
The leadership academy is designed to nurture and prepare lawyers for effective leadership in the association, the legal profession and their communities.
The interactive training program takes place across a five-month period in six sessions during which participants interact with a diverse group of seasoned attorneys and other professionals, learning about topics such as civility, ethics and professionalism.
“This year’s class has shown great commitment to their growth as professionals, and I congratulate them on this achievement,” said Ohio Bar President Judge Dean Wilson. “These accomplished, young attorneys show a diverse set of interests, and we can’t wait to see how they put their knowledge and new skills to work in service of their communities and to advance the legal profession.”
The academy is limited to lawyers who have practiced law between one and 10 years.
Attorneys are selected based on their stated commitment to the goals of the academy, a demonstrated history of interaction with the legal and their own communities and diversity.
