HBR Board Meeting

Monday, March 25, 2024

During our March 25th Board Meeting, we had the pleasure of introducing three new members to our Board: Race Randall from Maui Land and Pine, Michael B. Pietsch from Title Guaranty, and Kevin Penn from James Campbell Company. Please extend a warm welcome to them when you get the chance.

Additionally, the meeting featured three presentations: 1) Senator Jarrett Keohokalole and Norma Wong shared insights on the Red Hill Water Alliance Initiative (Red Hill WAI), 2) Nicole Lim, Movers and Shakas, and 3) Justin Tyndall, UHERO-Why Are Condominiums So Expensive in Hawaii.

Nicole Lim from Movers and Shakas shared a recent update on the Hawaii Talent Onboarding Program (HITOP). This initiative assists employers in acclimating their new leaders to the community and enhancing their retention. If you're interested in discovering how the program can help your new leaders and their spouses to flourish both professionally and personally, please contact Nicole Lim for more information.
