September 2014 - Executive Women International
HONOLULU EDITION Chartered November 3, 1967 “Letter of Thanks” Time waits for no one. No one gets a minute more or a minute less and this year has flown by. It was a year that no one could have predicted, filled with several new and exciting opportunities, challenges and successes. First on my very long list of people to thank is my family: James, Kylee, Wyatt, Cade and Halee. They understood when EWI President demands meant late nights, some weekends and meals on the run. Next is my executive, Patrick Klein, who hired me in October 2013 and supported my Presidency from the start to the finish line; Nadine Uratsuka whose wisdom, advise and experience laid the ground work for my own Presidential experience; Cora Kim for her willingness to help at anytime when there was a need; Miki Hwang who efficiently kept the minutes and prepped documents for business and board meetings; Roseann Bronston for her financial and fiscal savvy with our accounts and reporting; Jennifer Ihara for planning and executing our monthly dinner meetings with flair, fun, creativity and new twists; Candace Yuen for rising to the occasion and confirming attendance and establishing quorum at business meetings; Maegan Brandt for actively recruiting new members and sharing the 3 C's and what makes us special; Karen Mendes and Adele Tasaka for executing incredible scholarship programs with exceptional judges and welldeserving scholarship recipients; Brenda Kanno for her wealth of knowledge and expertise with all things EWI; Jasmine Rivera for her communications and marketing activities through Connect, emails and our website; Francine LeeKadota for actively engaging our membership with philanthropic activities such as clothing, book and school supply drives for Salvation Army Women's Way, YWCA and Family Programs Hawaii; and Wanda Sanchez who drove our fundraising efforts with Ward Centre's Give and Get and soon to be Golf Tournament! September's dinner meeting is always an EWI favorite! Your attendance to reach quorum is greatly appreciated as we conduct business and do a written year in review, approve the new budget, and install your new officers. Wear royal blue, your EWI pin and get ready to congratulate Cora Kim and her new board! My goal from the beginning of the term was to engage connections, enhance careers and enrich the community. I realize that to whom much is given, much is expected. It has been a journey unlike any other and I'm at the finish line. I hope that I've left EWI better than I found it ... and it's always been a gold standard!
