HONOLULU EDITION
Chartered November 3, 1967
Letter from the President
What a fantastic February dinner meeting. Thank you to
member firm Insurance Solutions, LLC and executive Tracy
Wong! Together we hosted 37 member firm reps, 3 member
firm executives, and 23 guests in addition to our philanthropy
toiletry drive for Institute for Human Services. Cheers to all of
you for making it happen! My platform and theme as your
President is my 3 E’s in conjunction with EWI’s 3 C’s. It was
clear to me that everyone was intentional about Engaging
Connections, Enhancing Careers and Enriching Community!
Remember, it’s our way of getting to know each other better, to build
relationships to further business and our community.
Each month we are marching toward being recognized as an EWI Corporate
Chapter of Excellence (COE). It is the blueprint or business plan for our dynamic
business organization. One of the many criteria of being a COE is to have a robust
social media presence. Currently we have 170 followers on Twitter, 129 Linkedin
members and 151 Facebook likes. I recently created an Instragram account as
EWIHONOLULU. If you’re not socially connected with us, please don’t hesitate to
ask how you can be.
This month’s Connect contains the Straw Ballot that seeks nominations for board
positions for the 2014-15 year and the Na Wahine Alaka’i Leadership Award.
Creating a succession system of leaders in our chapter is critical to our continued
health, strength and growth. The successful volunteer leader will work with
inspiration and passion not only for themselves but others. If you have a passion
for EWI and a heart of service I encourage you to take on a leadership role on the
board.
The Na Wahine Alaka’i Leadership Award was established to recognize the talent
and leadership potential of an EWI of Honolulu rep. This year we will award up to
$1,750 in monetary support for a rep to attend the EWI Leadership Conference
and Annual Meeting (LCAM) and Academy of Leadership in Arlington, VA,
September 10-13, 2014. Nominations are now open and I can’t wait to see who
will join me in Arlington!
I look forward to seeing you at member firm Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, Coconut
Club on March 12th for our monthly dinner meeting. The guest speaker, Jonella
DeLimas will be sharing The Foundation of Aloha. I encourage you to wear EWI’s
royal blue, pin and pendant and also a flower or lei.
Warmest Aloha to you!

Aloha,
My name is Peter Hicks and I work with Joyce Gooman, owner of Lamination House.
I was born in Sumatra, Indonesia and moved to The Netherlands (Holland) in my early years. I am of DutchIndonesian descent and understand Dutch and speak the language, the "old" style. Our family of eight (8) moved to
the United States and settled in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I gained my formal education. I visited Hawaii
in 1975 and have lived here since.
I have been in the retail business for 26+ years in Hawaii and during that period, was a manager/buyer for a retail
clothing store and eventually owned my own business. I have also managed multiple store locations and assisted a
Hui of artisans in developing a Hawaiiana store for locally made, handmade items and artisans. My retail
experience has encompassed selling, buying and managing soft and hard goods as well as educating, nurturing and
developing local handcrafters to be better business entrepreneurs.
I also have 9+ years in managing a sales team statewide, to develop and manage a wholesale distributorship in
Hawaii.
I am married to a beautiful "local" woman for the past 36+ years , we have two wonderful daughters and just
recently have a new addition, our granddaughter, Olivia.

Downtown Honolulu Lunch Bunch
EWI of Honolulu had its first Downtown “Lunch Bunch” February 11th. It was a fun, relaxing lunch at the Hukilau
Restaurant in the business district of Honolulu. Everyone had a chance to get to know each other better and there
was great networking!
For those of you who have not participated before, this gathering is periodically planned for those downtown EWI
of Honolulu member reps who want to have lunch and share some time meeting each other. It’s a great opportunity
to share about their member firms and learn more about EWI. All are welcome to attend.

Cassie Townsend, Cora Kim, Joyce Gooman, Karen Choe, Karen Garcia, Kelly Nishimura, Leona Hee, Melissa Tree,
Peter Hicks, Sheri Tamayose and Wanda Sanchez.
The next Lunch Bunch will be held next quarter at the Mandalay Chinese Restaurant on Alakea Street. Anyone who
