"The GTLA LEAD program is one of the single-best sources for identifying and honing the talent in our association” remarked Lyle Warshauer, President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. "These 18 attorneys were chosen from one of the most competitive selection processes in the program’s history, and I know that they will uphold the successful legacy of the LEAD program as they work toward becoming the future leaders of our association.”
The GTLA LEAD Program consists of qualified applicants with less than 10 years of legal practice experience or those who are 35 years of age or younger. The 2020-2021 LEAD Program will feature six sessions beginning at the end of August with the kickoff event and concluding with graduation at the GTLA Annual Convention & President’s Gala in the Spring of 2021.
"The LEAD Program was one of the best personal and professional development programs in which we have participated,” stated LEAD Program Co-Chairs Dustin Davies and Michelle King. "This is one of the most geographically diverse classes in program history, representing 12 different cities across Georgia and covering a wide-range of practice areas. This group will certainly enhance GTLA through their program year and beyond, but we know that the real benefit will be the relationships that they form with each other.”
