HSBP along with its partners is proud to present:
IMPROVING HAWAII’S ECONOMY – WHAT WILL
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT?
David Y. Ige was sworn in as the eighth governor of the State of
Hawaii on December 1, 2014. In the opening to his inauguration
address he stated that “an inauguration is really an introduction of a
new governor, a new administration, a new beginning.” He went on to
state that government must “do the hard work” of nurturing a
sustainable economy and must take a more active role in growing small
business and diversifying our economic engine, as well as in
supporting our larger and more established industries.
With the recent confirmation of Luis Salaveria as the director of the
Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, what
will the new administration do to support business and economic
development?
Governor David Ige will share with us his perspectives on economic
development and what businesses can expect from the new
administration.
Governor David Ige (D) is the current Governor of
Hawaii. He was born and raised in Pearl City and
attended public schools. Despite being accepted into
M.I.T. he attended the University of Hawaii at
Manoa, where he earned a Bachelor of Science
degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master of
Business Administration degree in Decision
Sciences. In 1986, Hawaii Business Magazine
named him one of the university’s Top 10 MBA
students. Prior to being elected Governor, he worked for GTE
Hawaiian Tel for more than 18 years. He also served as Program/
Project Manager with Robert A. Ige and Associates, Inc., Vice
President of Engineering at NetEnterprise, and Project Engineer/Senior
Principal Engineer at Pihana Pacific, which established the first worldclass data center and carrier-neutral Internet exchange in Hawaii and
the Pacific.
