Ian Leon Named to Connecticut Hispanic Bar Association’s Board of Directors

Ian Leon, an associate Shipman’s Real Estate, Land Use, Environmental, Energy and Construction practices, has been elected to serve a two-year term on the Board of Directors for the Connecticut Hispanic Bar Association (CHBA).

Throughout its history, the CHBA has been active in community service. It offers a mentoring program to Hispanic law, college, and high school students, and a scholarship program for law students.
