LIHU‘E — Justin Kollar, a deputy county attorney currently assigned to the Kaua‘i Police Department, and Emiko Meyers, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Hawai‘i Lihu‘e office, have been selected for the Hawai‘i State Bar Association’s Leadership Institute.
The Leadership Institute program was developed in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the association’s strategic-planning process which identified leadership development as a key focus, a press release states.
The mission of the institute is to expose competitively selected attorneys to different areas of the legal profession, build relationships for the future, gain skills to be a better lawyer and therefore a leader, and to retain and educate emerging leaders for the legal community and the HSBA.
Kollar and Meyers are among 15 fellows selected from a pool of applicants with three to 15 years of practice.
Leading the program for 2010 is HSBA President-elect Louise Ing of Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing and 2009 program graduate Browning Clark of the state Department of the Attorney General, Family Law Division.
Together with an advisory committee of bar members, the program planning has selected the following seven topics to highlight:
— Leadership in action;
— Meet the bench;
— Meet the bar;
— We the people;
— Corporate Hawai‘i;
— And justice for all;
— Doing the right thing;
Each topic is led by an experienced HSBA member working in that related field. See www.hsba.org for more information.
