Building a strategic plan can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to. Join the NCWBA On the MIC with Jennifer Lewin, Director of the ABA Center for Bar Leadership, for Strategic Planning Without the Guesswork, and learn how to turn vision into action with confidence.

Jennifer will guide you through the questions every bar leader faces: What does your organization truly need from a plan? How long should it span? Who should be involved? You’ll gain practical strategies to gather the right information, engage stakeholders, and create a plan that becomes part of your organization’s DNA.

Leave ready to approach planning with purpose and clarity, and turn a daunting task into a roadmap for meaningful, long-term impact.
