Phi Alpha Delta’s Growing Our Leadership Diversity (G.O.L.D.) Program is a reimagined in person experience designed to elevate, empower, and equip the next generation of P.A.D. law leaders from diverse backgrounds.

What began as a mentoring initiative has evolved into a high-impact, in-person leadership weekend that immerses law students in transformational learning, professional development, and community building. The weekend experience takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 27-29, 2026. Selected candidates will have their flight, hotel and meals paid for.

The G.O.L.D. Program is intentionally crafted to help students:

• Strengthen their leadership identity through guided assessments, interactive workshops, and personalized facilitator feedback.
• Elevate their professional presence by refining résumés, enhancing interview skills, and developing a strong personal brand.
• Build meaningful relationships with fellow participants, P.A.D. leadership, attorneys, and recruiters who can support their career journey.

Grounded in P.A.D. The program blends leadership training, career readiness, and personal growth into a concentrated two-day experience that students can immediately apply in law school, the workplace, and future P.A.D. roles.

The mission of G.O.L.D. remains the same:
To identify diverse leaders, to invest in their development, and to prepare them to lead with integrity, courage, and purpose, within P.A.D. and across the legal profession.
