Washington Leadership Institute
The Mission
The mission of the Washington Leadership Institute (WLI) is to recruit, train, and develop minority and
traditionally underrepresented attorneys for future leadership positions in the Washington State Bar
Association and legal community. We strive to recruit fellows for each class who reflect the full
diversity of our state, which includes race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and
geographic location.
