ADVOCATING FOR BUSINESS

SERVING OUR MEMBERS

On this episode of the Voice of Business Podcast presented by ALTRES focused on community building in the healthcare sector, Jo McGarry interviews Dr Jill Hoggard Green PHD & RN, President & CEO of The Queens Healthcare System.

Dr. Hoggard Green discusses how the Queens Healthcare System are best serving each person and their ohana, with an understanding that teams and our community can collaborate to improve health and well-being.

Throughout the pandemic, the Queens Healthcare System focused on bringing teams together at a rapid pace to implement protocols that would work across the community. Throughout that time, while constantly learning, the protocols established made a tremendous difference to the state of Hawaii. Coming out of the pandemic, Dr. Hoggard Green sees Hawaii as having incredible abilities to truly improve health and well-being of our families and to create new industry and businesses that can thrive.

SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY

Navy Blue Angels

This past weekend, the U.S. Navy Blue Angel F/A-18 Super Hornets performed aerial stunts at the 2022 Kaneohe Bay Air Show at the Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH).

The event featured aerial performances as well as static displays, demonstrations and vendors. Mahalo to MCBH for the unique opportunity to witness this show stopping event!  

SHAPING OUR FUTURE WORKFORCE

Work-Based Learning (WBL) continues to be a need for educators and young leaders around the state. Hawaii is seeing continued growth in the number of WBL opportunities for learners across the state. We have seen great examples of WBL models from industry partners who embrace WBL as a strategic way to prepare a new generation of talent for the future of work.

We invite all employers to attend this year's virtual Work-Based Learning Convening on Thursday, September 1 from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM hosted by Hawaii P20 Partnerships for Education and the Chamber.

The convening will showcase an employer post-secondary internship, ask-an-educator panel, Sector Partnerships session and more! Sessions are an opportunity to learn how your organization can get involved with our local educators to support WBL opportunities for our young leaders, focusing on workforce planning, talent acquisition and talent development.

If you have any questions on the WBL convening or work-based learning, please send us an email.

The future looks bright for Hawaii’s rising leaders! Mahalo to everyone who joined the Chamber for our inaugural Kamaaina Career Connect held recently at the American Savings Bank Campus.

Over 45 local college students and recent graduates got to meet and network with over 30 of Hawaii’s top executive leaders representing a variety of industries. Networks were expanded, resumes were shared and students became inspired about the types of job opportunities available throughout the state!

Kamaaina Career Connect aims to help students build their professional networks and gain their interest in pursuing lucrative and in-demand job opportunities available right here at home. A big thank you to all the executive attendees who joined us as well as our sponsors for making this event possible: American Savings Bank, Kamehameha Schools, Hawaiian Telcom, The Queen’s Health Systems and Island Holdings.

Mahalo for your commitment to Hawaii’s leaders of tomorrow!
