I am pleased to share that in its first month, the ACECH Board has already made significant progress on two key member initiatives. As part of our commitment to support, engage, and grow our Neighbor Island membership, we are planning General Membership Meetings on Hawaii Island and Kauai. These meetings will allow us to connect more closely with our members across the islands and ensure that their voices are heard and valued.
To strengthen our organization’s capacity, we will also be hosting a Committee Rush event at our September pau hana General Membership Meeting at the Oahu Country Club. During this event, the Board will present refreshed goals and objectives for our committees. The Committee Rush will be a valuable opportunity for members to step into leadership roles as chairs, co-chairs, or committee members, helping us drive forward our collective mission.
Please mark your calendars for the September 4 General Membership Meeting and keep an eye out for more details about the Neighbor Island meetings. We look forward to your participation and continued support as we work together to advance our profession.
