Board of Trustees (BOT) Meetings

OHA’s Board of Trustees (BOT) meets regularly, usually twice a month on Thursdays. Agendas and minutes for BOT meetings are posted here as they become available. Periodically, the BOT calls for special meetings at the discretion of the Chair, Board of Trustees. Meetings are open to the public, but portions of the meetings may be held in executive session, which are allowed by law to be closed to the public.

BOT agendas serve as public notice of the meetings and are posted on an electronic calendar maintained by the State of Hawaiʻi. A minimum of five (5) Trustees is required to hold meetings.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Trustees will hold virtual meetings consistent with the current Governor’s Emergency Supplementary Proclamation in effect. The virtual meetings will be live stream and can be viewed by clicking on the live stream button below.

Only written testimony on items listed on the agenda will be accepted. Individuals interested in providing written testimony should submit testimony via email to BOTmeetings@oha.org at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled meeting. Any testimony received after this time will be designated as late testimony and distributed to the Board after the scheduled meeting. Please do not fax, mail, or drop off written testimony.

The BOT is required to take minutes of the public portions of its meetings, which are placed here on OHA’s website. Meeting minutes from 2010 – 2014 can be downloaded here. The BOT meets at least once annually on each of the neighbor islands: Hawai’i, Maui, Moloka’i, Lāna’i, and Kauaʻi. Typically, the BOT will schedule back-to-back meetings, starting with a community meeting in the evening and a regular board meeting the following morning. The meetings on the neighbor islands are usually scheduled once a month beginning in May and ending in September.
