The 2024 Directors & Officers for the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club. Not pictured is Na Alaka’i Debra Chock or Hoʻopaʻa Moʻolelo (Historian) Gail Wright
Recently the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club has had to remove several Board Members for failing to accomplish the Kuleana of their positions. This is not something the Club takes lightly. Board Members are held to a higher standard of ethics and Kuleana and when they fail to accomplish what they agreed to do when they were installed in their positions this not only causes Pilikia to occur with how the Club operates but requires others to take on the abandoned Kuleana. This also requires those positions be vacated to clear the way for those who truly wish to support the Lāhui rather than simply hold a title for appearances only.
We are seeking dedicated persons with a drive to support the Lāhui in the positions of Pu’uku and Na Alaka’i. New ideas to better accomplish the Club’s mission remains the goal.
The Executive Officers and Board of Directors of the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club would like to pay tribute to and show our appreciation to our past Presidents who served our Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Community.
