  Prior to joining the Bank of Guam, Lesley spent eight years in public 
service with the Guam Department of Homeland Security and the Office of 
Civil Defense. During her time there, she helped lead response and 
recovery efforts during various natural disasters, including Typhoon 
Chata'an and Super Typhoon Pongsona.
  Lesley is a 1997 graduate of Notre Dame High School in Talofofo, Guam 
and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from 
Chaminade University of Honolulu. In December of 2015, Lesley graduated 
from the University of Guam with a Professional Master of Business 
Administration degree.
  Lesley has been a member of the Guam Chamber of Commerce Guam Young 
Professionals Committee for the last two years. The organization seeks 
to energize, engage and empower young professionals to be inspired, 
influential and connected. She has been an active member of the 
organization, helping young professionals to recognize the economic and 
social importance of engaging in all aspects of our community and 
region to encourage them to become future leaders. Lesley was nominated 
and chosen as the Guam Young Professional of the Year from among five 
nominees within the local business community.
  Additionally to her professional work, Lesley actively supports many 
local non-profit organizations. Lesley is a member of the Lupus 
Awareness Group of Guam which seeks to provide advocacy and identify 
the needs of those with Lupus on Guam. She also serves as the Board 
Secretary for Junior Achievement Guam which is a local organization 
that promotes entrepreneurship to Guam's youth. Lesley is a founding 
member and Vice President of Let's Move, a local non-profit 
organization dedicated to fighting childhood obesity on Guam.
  Again, I extend my congratulations to Lesley on being named the Guam 
Chamber of Commerce 2015 Reina A. Leddy Guam Young Professional of the 
Year and I commend her for her service and dedication to the people of 
Guam throughout her career. I also extend a sincere congratulation to 
Lesley's parents, Kenny Leon Guerrero and Gil and Connie Shinohara. I 
look forward to her continuing to be a role model in our community and 
work to improve our island.
