Several lawyers at Sapientia Law Group have taken leadership roles in the various local and state bar associations for the new 2011–2012 bar year. Recent elections and appointments include:
- Jon Strauss, who is on the presidential-leadership track as the newly elected Secretary of the Hennepin County Bar Foundation — the charitable arm of the Hennepin County Bar Association.
- Sonia Miller-Van Oort, who was named to Co-Chair both the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Governance Committee and Diversity Implementation Task Force and elected to serve on the Hennepin County Bar Association’s Board of Directors.

Strauss explained how this active board service fits with Sapientia’s core values of making a difference in the community: “Our attorneys firmly believe that providing leadership in our bar associations is not only a great way to connect with other lawyers, but, more importantly, to make certain that the bar is serving the public’s interest.”
