Aloha from Hilo!

HAWAI`I BUSINESS EDU CATION ASSOCIATION
R
osa Say states that knowledge is food for mind,
heart, and soul. I have to agree. When I learn
something new that is relevant and valuable, I feel
energized and motivated to share that knowledge with
those around me. I am sure that people around you can
feel your energetic and positive spirit when you share
your knowledge with them. In the spirit of ‘Ike loa, I look
forward to seeking knowledge and wisdom at our HBEA
Spring Conference on Saturday, April 25. I am looking
forward to hearing the esteemed Ms. Sherry Menor-McNamara, originally
from Hilo, talk about trends in business in Hawai`i. Our tech savvy Mr. Warren
Kawano will be sharing more with us about using social media in and out of
the classroom. The details and registration form are in this newsletter, so
please register for the HBEA spring conference and share this information with
your colleagues.
The 2015 WBEA conference, Highlighting Education and Technology (HEAT), will
be held on May 22-24 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Kick off your summer with some
knowledge to inspire you and help you bring innovation to your daily practices. I
will be there and I hope that you have already registered for the conference too.
There are some great computer and breakout sessions planned. We would love
to have as many HBEA members there to help market the 2016 WBEA
conference to be held at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa!

President’s Message
[Continued from page 1]
In closing, I look forward to seeing you in April at our spring conference. Knowing others well enhances
our relationships and broadens our prospects. Organizations need to embrace this philosophy because
the learning of new things allows us to let go of things that may not be working for us anymore.
Working together and helping each other brings joy, creativity, efficiency, and productivity to our daily
lives. I feel so lucky to work with this wonderful group who live the spirit of ‘Ike loa. In Rosa Say’s words,
“Grab your opportunity to learn and to know well all you wish to know.”
Anne Chung
HBEA President

‘Ike loa: To know well. To seek knowledge and wisdom.
‘Ike loa is the value of learning.
Seek knowledge, for new knowledge is the food for mind, heart, and soul.
Learning inspires us, and with ‘Ike loa we constantly give birth to new creative possibilities.
‘Ike loa promotes learning in the ‘Ohana; we must incorporate the seeking of knowledge and wisdom into our
business plan and into our daily practice.
‘Ike loa is to know well, and knowing others well enhances our relationships and broadens our prospects.
‘Ike loa: pursue wisdom. Learn and know well.
What are the things you would like to learn more about?
What have you learned about recently? How has this new knowledge helped you?
How can we stay connected with those we work with?
From Managing with Aloha: Bringing Hawai`i’s Universal Values to the Art of Business by Rosa Say.

Club at Leeward since starting full time in Fall
2010.
One nominator states:
Warren Kawano—
Outstanding Career
and Technical Student
Organization Advisor
Warren Kawano is a
Business Technology
Instructor at the University of Hawai‘i, Leeward
Community College in Pearl City, Hawai‘i. He
has eleven years of teaching experience at the
secondary and postsecondary levels. Warren
has presented on the integration of social media
in the classroom at the 2013 NBEA convention
in Atlanta, Georgia. Warren holds a Bachelor
of Arts in Business and Marketing Education
from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and a
Master of Business Administration with a
concentration in Finance from Hawai‘i Pacific
University.
Warren taught for six years at Waipahu High
School as a business teacher and this is his fifth
year at Leeward CC. At Waipahu High, he was
the director of the Academy of Finance. He
In addition to service projects that benefit
the community, Warren also inspired
students to improve the livelihood of the
student body. This inspiration resulted with
club members holding annual Spring Fairs
and Holiday Fairs. The Fair’s mission is to
promote the entrepreneurial spirit by
providing a venue for student
entrepreneurs and local small businesses
to market their products. It also gives
students who chair and co-chair the event
experience with coordinating and
conducting a large event. As a past chair
of the Spring Fair, I can attest to the
incredible experience and networking
opportunities it afforded. Each semester, I
am greeted by familiar faces that are
returning vendors and I kept up to date
with the current marketable products
because of the opportunity of chairing the
event provided me.
Warren is an outstanding CTSO
advisor who has helped grow the club
from 6 to over 30 members.

I have known Dimpna for almost 15 years while teaching business education classes at Leeward
Community College and UH West Oahu. During this time she has been the ultimate professional in
providing excellent customer service as McGraw Hill’s higher education sales representative for
Hawai`i. She continues to be a wonderful source of knowledge and is able to match our needs with
her company’s products while balancing an affordable cost to our students. Even when we decide
not to use her products she is a gracious person who we always look forward in meeting.
On behalf of all of the business educators you have helped throughout the years—thank you so much, Dimpna,
for all your help and support of business education.
(Dimpna was not able to attend the State Conference; therefore, her award will be presented at the HBEA
