The practice of law is unique in Hawaii with its melting pot of cultures and rich state history. The Leadership Institute is designed to foster the professional growth and enhance the leadership of all ethnic and cultural groups that represent the HSBA membership.
Purpose:
The Hawaii State Bar Association Leadership Institute was developed in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the bar’s strategic planning process, in which leadership development became a key focus. The Institute encourages diversity among the leaders of the bar by recruiting and targeting members with 3-15 years of practice and have a keen interest in expanding their talents and services to the bar and community at large.
