CEO MESSAGE As we strive to be your trusted source of information, inspiration and connection in our community, your voice matters now more than ever. Surveying people we serve is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, your direct feedback helps us understand what resonates with you, what works and what doesn’t.

CEO MESSAGE In 1983, Kamehameha Schools’ Performing Arts teacher Holoua Stender recognized gems in a crowd of talented students.

CEO MESSAGE Denialism is the practice of denying the existence, truth or validity of something, despite proof of strong evidence that is real, true or valid.  That could apply to nearly 15% of Americans, who according to a recent University of Michigan study, do not believe climate change is real.

On the evening of April 15, 1999, PBS Hawai‘i, then known as Hawai‘i Public Television, launched a new musical program highlighting the history, beauty and magic of traditional Hawaiian music.  The historic premiere featured four iconic names in Hawaiian music, Dennis and David Kamakahi, Martin Pahinui and George Kuo.

CEO MESSAGE Many of us are guilty of carelessly being insensitive to a friend in need. I can think of a few heartless comments that I recently blurted out, only to feel like a moron the moment the words left my mouth.

Final Thought… It is with grateful hearts, that we extend our aloha… From Hilo to Hanalei…Pauoa to Pāhoa.   For believing in our team and supporting our mission… For embracing our programs and trusting our vision.   We promise to serve with dignity and grace… Staying true to our purpose and respectful of space.

Life is full of seasons and each phase of life has its own character. Spring resembles conception, birth and young adolescence. Young adulthood is the summer of our life, middle-age is the fall and old age is the winter. If this is true, then the PBS Hawai‘i team is enjoying young adulthood. We are reaching the peak of our physical strength and endurance and making our mark on the world.
