ZOOM is the new venue continuing on for the meeting of HBC members as we traverse into the new year.

To recap in the HBC 2021 Bi-Annual January, 21 meeting, we pulled together a (Click to OPEN) presentation noting some of the happenings in East Maui through 2020, including:

• HanaMaui.com launched in January
• Hana Farmers Market launched in February
• The Hana Maskmakers Group, Project Ho’omana, Hana Fresh and others work to support the community through this COVID-19 pandemic
• Hana Maui Hotel reopened under management of Hyatt
• Local online businesses brought their offerings online, including Hasegawa General Store & Hana Coast Gallery
• The Hana Roadshow Event happened in August, which was a collaboration of local food entrepreneurs, the HBC, HFUU – Hana Chapter, and the UH Maui College Food Innovation Center
• Hanaside News published their last issue under the management of Doris Buckley, and relaunched in December under Amanda Mori’s leadership.
• HBC is in the process of transforming the organization to a 501c3; and to build our membership base and encourage participation, through July 2021 we are offering free membership renewals – Go to https://hanamaui.com/hbc/ to join or renew your membership TODAY!

We look forward to 2021 bringing new avenues of community workforce development and a better curated visitor experience! Our next HBC Board / Member meeting is this coming Tuesday, February 9 via Zoom at 4:30pm – see the HanaMaui.com calendar to access the meeting.
