Aloha HBC Board and Members!

The HBC Executive Team decided that we should postpone our annual HBC member meeting / luncheon into August due to the large number of kupuna who generally would attend and the uncertainty of COVID-19 guidelines around large gatherings. We will be discussing our options at the board meeting coming up on Monday, July 13 at 4:30pm. This is a ZOOM web conference meeting. All members are welcome to participate, and we welcome community participation!

Please review the draft agenda items below which have come to my attention for our Board meeting, which also include ideas for the Annual Membership Meeting.

• We are considering extending HBC memberships for FREE for one year for 96713 businesses to all who attend our annual meeting this year,
• as well as providing the option to attend the luncheon at no charge.
• We will have the option to join the meeting via Zoom.
• (Note: members are permitted to still pay their dues if they are able, and there will be a suggested donation as per our usual costs for the luncheon to be hosted at Hōlani Hāna again this year. Also, it will be RSVP with 2 options to choose from for a meal selection which will be preprepared with mindfulness to COVID-19 guidelines.)
• If you are interested in joining the board we will be having elections at the annual event. We have 2 currently open seats, 3 expiring terms, and 1 interim board member; and will need to determine if those with expiring terms want to continue to serve on the board. New energy welcome!

Let me know if you have an issue opening the links to review the shared HBC DropBox files. Call Heidi at (406) 600-4300 or landline (808) 248-7313.

If there is anything more you would like to add to the agenda please let us know at hbc@hanabusinesscouncil.com.
