The Bar Leadership Forum (BLF) is an invite only event hosted by the State Bar of Michigan to serve our state's legal leaders. Hosted at the Grand Hotel on beautiful Mackinac Island, BLF is packed with information you need to grow your organization and improve as a leader. Sessions include a deep dive into the Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Michigan Judiciary; an update on legislation and court rules; and tips on how to run an effective meeting. You also will get lots of opportunity to meet with other section and bar leaders from throughout Michigan, including State Bar of Michigan President Dana M. Warnez and SBM's new executive director, Peter Cunningham.
This year we are offering a special rate of $179 for those who register before May 20, 2022. That’s nearly 20 percent off the regular rate of $219. For more information, see our hotel page here.
Final registration for BLF is June 4, 2022! On-site registration is permitted, but not encouraged.
