At MAJ Convention, Samatha Dos Santos and Adam Shareef shared a glimpse into their experience as fellows of MAJ's Leadership Academy, a year-long program designed to help rising professionals grow into confident, purpose-driven leaders.

As Adam put it, "we are all leaders in some capacity - whether it's to our staff, our firm, or our community. But, very rarely do we spend time honing those abilities. Through deliberate, intentional presentations led by legends in our field, we were able to learn so many things that we will carry with us well into the future."

This program is about taking the time to invest in yourself, your professional growth and your future. Applications are now open for the 2026-2027 cohort! Apply before June 30: mdforjustice.com/leadershipacademy
