Congratulations to Clayton R. Leonard who was recently elected West Hawaii Director for the Hawaii State Bar Association – Young Lawyer’s Division (HSBA-YLD). Clayton will serve as the West Hawaii Director for two years and is one of 16 board members from the state of Hawaii – the only attorney from the Big Island.
The HSBA-YLD does wonderful things for the legal field in Hawaii and for the community. One project they sponsor, for example, is Junior Judges where volunteer attorneys speak to kids (3rd – 5th grade) about some tough choices they may face and how to be “junior judges” to make the good decisions. Topics they discuss include cheating, destroying property, bullying, teasing, stealing, drugs and alcohol, and gangs and weapons. Clayton had the opportunity to participate in the project last year at Kealakehe Elementary School and felt like it was a big hit!
We congratulate Mr. Leonard for upholding the high standard of service to the community that we have sought for at Darl C. Gleed & Associates, LLLC and we know he will be a great addition to the YLD board.
