Gladys Brand Sweeps 'Triple Crown' by Winning 'O'O Award

Gladys Kamakau'okalani 'Ainoa Brandt, former principal of The Kamehameha Schools and currently chairperson of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, has nailed down the "triple crown" of outstanding Hawaiian awards by being named winner of the 'O'O Award from the Hawaiian Business/Professional Association. Mrs. Brandt, who earlier was named winner of the David Malo Award and Outstanding Hawaiian honors from the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, was presented her 'O'O Award at a public dinner Thursday, Apr. 21, at the Willows Restaurant. She is the 12th recipient and the second woman in a row to win the prestigious award. The 1987 winner was Winona Ellis Rubin, also a former Kamehameha principal who is currently director of the Department of Human Services (formerly Department of Social Services and Housing). The last male recipient of the award also has definite Kamehameha connections. He is Richard Lyman, chairman of Ihe Bishop Estate Board of Trustees who won it in 1986.
