In 2010, PBA President Gretchen Mundorff has re-launched the Bar Leadership Institute to strengthen the PBA's ongoing efforts to recruit and develop leaders for the association. The BLI was originally developed by Art Piccone in 1995-96 during his year as PBA president. Mundorff, who was the first chair of the institute, is a longtime proponent of leadership development and mentoring programs.

"We are going to make every effort to identify and prepare the best young lawyers who are representative of the diversity within the PBA membership to take leadership positions," Mundorff said.

This year's class, selected from a field of 34 candidates, includes the following participants:

Laura Evans - Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott L.L.C., Harrisburg
