HONOLULU EDITION
Chartered November 3, 1967
“Letter of Thanks”
Time waits for no one. No one gets a minute more or a minute
less and this year has flown by. It was a year that no one could
have predicted, filled with several new and exciting
opportunities, challenges and successes. First on my very long
list of people to thank is my family: James, Kylee, Wyatt, Cade
and Halee. They understood when EWI President demands
meant late nights, some weekends and meals on the run. Next is
my executive, Patrick Klein, who hired me in October 2013 and
supported my Presidency from the start to the finish line; Nadine Uratsuka whose
wisdom, advise and experience laid the ground work for my own Presidential
experience; Cora Kim for her willingness to help at anytime when there was a
need; Miki Hwang who efficiently kept the minutes and prepped documents for
business and board meetings; Roseann Bronston for her financial and fiscal savvy
with our accounts and reporting; Jennifer Ihara for planning and executing our
monthly dinner meetings with flair, fun, creativity and new twists; Candace Yuen
for rising to the occasion and confirming attendance and establishing quorum at
business meetings; Maegan Brandt for actively recruiting new members and
sharing the 3 C's and what makes us special; Karen Mendes and Adele Tasaka for
executing incredible scholarship programs with exceptional judges and welldeserving scholarship recipients; Brenda Kanno for her wealth of knowledge and
expertise with all things EWI; Jasmine Rivera for her communications and
marketing activities through Connect, emails and our website; Francine LeeKadota for actively engaging our membership with philanthropic activities such as
clothing, book and school supply drives for Salvation Army Women's Way, YWCA
and Family Programs Hawaii; and Wanda Sanchez who drove our fundraising
efforts with Ward Centre's Give and Get and soon to be Golf Tournament!
September's dinner meeting is always an EWI favorite! Your attendance to reach
quorum is greatly appreciated as we conduct business and do a written year in
review, approve the new budget, and install your new officers. Wear royal blue,
your EWI pin and get ready to congratulate Cora Kim and her new board!
My goal from the beginning of the term was to engage connections, enhance
careers and enrich the community. I realize that to whom much is given, much is
expected. It has been a journey unlike any other and I'm at the finish line. I hope
that I've left EWI better than I found it ... and it's always been a gold standard!
Always connected,

MEMORANDUM
TO:
All EWI Members
CC:
2013-2014 Corporate Board and Advisor
FROM:
Wendy Cowley – Executive Director, COO
DATE:
May 29, 2014
RE:
“400 in 4” Membership Campaign
Whether you are a new member or have a long standing membership with EWI, we are sure you
have heard the phrase, “recruitment is everyone’s responsibility”; well here is an opportunity to
participate in making this a reality. We are excited to announce a new membership campaign,
“400 in 4” to recognize each individual member who brings in a new member. To be recognized,
make sure you include your name on the application under Recruited By. The campaign will run
June 1 – September 30, 2014.
We have received several beautiful pieces of jewelry that were handcrafted especially for our
campaign. Also, logo merchandise will be given for each new member recruited.
•
•
•
“Bag” a member and receive an EWI eco-friendly reusable bag
“Drive” new members to EWI and receive a flash drive
Use your “Charm” to bring in five members and receive an EWI charm bracelet
We recognize that our goal is large, but we’re hoping that together we can increase membership
with as many new members as possible and expand our EWI network.
There are two great webinars: “Finding Diamonds, Sapphires and Pearls in Our Own Backyard”
and “Retention and Recruitment” with helpful ideas and tips. You can view both of these videos
in the Members Only section of the Corporate Website.
We have created a new page on the Corporate Website specifically for the “400 in 4” campaign
and developed new eye catching marketing pieces to assist you in your recruitment efforts that
include:
! An interactive video with over 35 testimonials from members expressing the value of
their membership
! Colorful full page “Join EWI” benefits flyer for electronic distribution
! Marketing booklet converted to a flipbook that can be linked to electronic messages
Visit the Corporate Website to see updates on campaign progress, recruitment tips (these will
also be shared on Facebook weekly so be sure to “Like” us), photos of the prizes, and much
more.
As always, the Corporate Office is here to help. We are only a phone call or email away. We
appreciate your membership and your efforts to make EWI even better with an increased
network.
Go EWI!
