Special Edition of Akaku Show “Crossroads” June 30 6 PM

This is not a KCA event, but we post it as a public service due  to the community value the program offers at this onerous time.

The bimonthly show “Crossroads” is hosted by Huelo community activist, respected policy analyst and co-author of highly-regarded, published research on Maui’s water, Lucienne DeNaie.

The show focuses on issues which impact nonprofits and events across a political spectrum. It airs every other Tuesday, and a special edition of the show will be broadcast on June 30th at 6 PM.

 

Reportedly, several guest panelists will appear on the show June 30th  to discuss the choices Maui faces in potentially diversifying Maui’s economy away from a large dependency on tourism and tourism-related businesses.

 

 

 The panelists include:

  • Linda Puppolo, with a long history of leadership with Maui small businesses and nonprofits, and who currently serves as Executive Director for the Maui County Workforce Development Board 
  • Jeanne Skog, who has served 21 years as President & CEO of the Maui Economic Development Board, and who currently serves on the advisory board of the Hawai‘i Budget and Policy Center and chairs the Economic Development Alliance of Hawaii
  • Shay Chan-Hodges, the author of “Lean on and Lead: Mothering and Work in the 21st Century”, currently Co-organizer, Maui ESG Project and Ahupua`a Investment Summit
  • Leslie Wilkins, longtime leader in business and professional women’s organizations and MEDB Women in Technology Project, currently President & CEO of MEDB and chair of County Workforce development board.
