The mission of the Oregon State Bar Leadership College is to recruit, educate and retain emerging leaders for the community and the Oregon State Bar. Fellows commit to a one-year program consisting of seven sessions, some of which require overnight travel. All expenses for the participation of the Fellows are paid. There is no tuition fee. Upon graduation from the Leadership College, Fellows are encouraged to seek out leadership opportunities within the bar and the community.
