Community invited to talk story session with 3 Kamehameha Schools trustee finalists

Ke One O Kākuhihewa, the Oʻahu Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs — with support from Kanaeokana — will host He Kūkākūkā: A Talk Story with Kamehameha Schools Trustee Finalists.

The event brings together Kamehameha Schools beneficiaries, alumni, families and community stakeholders for an evening of conversation with the three Kamehameha Schools trustee finalists: Keith Vieira, Olin K. Lagon and Eric K. Yeaman.

It is scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18, at Kālama Dining Hall on the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus in Honolulu. The event also will be livestreamed on Kanaeokana’s Facebook page.

This talk story is designed as a discussion rather than a debate. It will provide an opportunity for the community to hear directly from the finalists about their backgrounds, values, and vision for Kamehameha Schools.

The gathering, rooted in aloha and civic engagement, reflects a long-standing commitment by the Hawaiian civic clubs to foster informed dialogue and meaningful participation in decisions that impact the lāhui.

“Engaging beneficiaries and stakeholders in meaningful, accessible conversation is fundamental to the future of the Kamehameha Schools and the lāhui it serves,” said Jacob Aki, a 2013 Kamehameha Schools graduate and Ke One O Kākuhihewa President.

“We are sincerely grateful to Kanaeokana for their support and all three trustee finalists for stepping forward and engaging openly with the community at this important moment.”
