OHA board of trustees to meet on Kaua’i

LĪHUʻE (May 9, 2017) – Kaua‘i residents this week will have the opportunity to provide feedback to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) at a community forum and a regular meeting of the OHA Board of Trustees, scheduled respectively for Wednesday, May 10, and Thursday, May 11.

The community meeting is specifically designed for OHA officials to listen to the manaʻo of the public and highlight efforts to improve the conditions of Native Hawaiians. The board meeting is intended to conduct regular board business.  Both meetings are open to the public.

The Kauaʻi meetings are the first in the OHA Board’s annual series of community and board meetings held throughout the state. Below is a tentative schedule for the neighbor island meetings, with times and location subject to change.
