The story, which you can READ HERE , provided insight and background into the Leadership Academy and professional development the academy encompasses. Barteaux is part of the fifth class to graduate the academy and was one of only 18 graduates statewide to receive accolade.

“It kept me busy, but it was a great and very rewarding experience,” Barteaux said. “As an attorney, I’m always seeking to gather more information and get better. Participating in this academy definitely helped me grow as a lawyer.”

Oklahoma Bar Association President Garvin Isaacs, who oversees 17,600 members, has this to say about the academy:

“Those who participate in the Leadership Academy have worked to strengthen themselves both professionally and personally to become better leaders. These lawyers were chosen because they show a willingness to volunteer, serve and give of themselves. That dedication will serve the legal profession as well as their community long into the future.”
