The experience
MY KULEANA
"I attended NAPALI in June 2005, and it was a transformational leadership experience for me. I learned about Servant Leadership and how to embrace my Hawaiian cultural background to be a better leader. Honestly, I am in a leadership position today because of this program. Prior to NAPALI, I considered myself a reluctant leader. Now I know it's my kuleana. I believe in this program so much that I've been serving on its board of directors since 2016."
