OHA HOSTS SECOND SERIES OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON LAND SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL

HONOLULU (January 31, 2012)  – The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) will hold a second round of community meetings to inform its beneficiaries of the latest updates on the Kakaʻako land settlement proposal. The tentative land deal proposed by Governor Abercrombie would give OHA 30 acres of property in Kakaʻako valued at an estimated $200 million. If approved by the legislature, this agreement will finally resolve claims relating to OHA’s share of public land trust revenues from November 7, 1978 to June 30, 2012.
 
At the February community meetings, OHA will provide a status update on the Kakaʻako land settlement proposal.  The public is invited to attend any of the informational meetings that will be held in communities statewide.

HONOLULU (Jan. 19, 2012) – The Board of Trustees for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs today named Research Director Dr. Kamana’opono Crabbe as the organization’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Crabbe, 48, takes over as successor to Clyde W. Nämu‘o, who retired Dec. 30, 2011 after 10 years in the top job at OHA.

Crabbe steps in at a time when OHA is strengthening its focus on a number of initiatives aimed at improving conditions for Native Hawaiians.

“We are extremely pleased with this appointment,” said OHA Chairperson Colette Machado. “It’s a well-considered decision that enables a smooth leadership transition at OHA.  Kamana’o has an outstanding reputation for organization and managing by consensus.”

Crabbe joined OHA’s executive team in November 2009 as research director. He came to OHA from the Wai’anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, where he served as a licensed psychologist and Director of Training.

He has long-served the Native Hawaiian community and the residents of Hawai’i in the area of clinical psychology, family therapy, and Native Hawaiian health research. Crabbe is a graduate of Kamehameha Schools and received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Hawai’i at Mänoa.

“It’s a great honor and privilege to be able to serve as CEO,” Crabbe said. “I look forward to building on important relationships and addressing the critical issues facing our organization.”
