INTRODUCTION & NOTES
2015 BLACK BOOK
WELCOME TO THE 19TH ANNUAL Black Book from Hawaii Business magazine – a valuable resource for local businesses. It
includes biographies from the executives of the Top 250 companies in Hawaii (August issue) and other large local organizations.
In order to diversify the list, we have included our:
• 20 for the Next 20 recipients (March issue)
• Best Places to Work executives (April issue)

Biography surveys were emailed in August to nearly 800 Hawaii executives. Some replies did not provide enough
information, but we are printing 352 biographies this year. It is possible, that in a few cases, information submitted is
now out of date.

they didn’t fit on my sleeves. Selling real estate is
such an important job - different every day, never
boring and often challenging. It is not for the faint
of heart. You have to have “thick skin” and a real
people person to connect and #1 is keeping your

U.S. VETS Waianae
Serving Those Who Served & Local Families
The U.S.VETS – Waianae program, Pai’olu Kaiaulu, can be translated as: “A lift of encouragement as
the journey begins.” If you look at the stats about U.S.VETS, the nation’s largest non-profit serving
homeless and at-risk veterans, it’s a fitting title.
U.S.VETS has been “serving those who served” for the last 22 years and makes its home in 14
cities across six states, including Washington D.C. and the Territory of Guam, with 21 residential
locations and nine community service centers. Since the Waianae site was founded in 2007, our
one site alone has provided services to almost 4,000 veteran and non-veteran individuals and
families.
At Pai’olu Kaiaulu we have another expression—Hana Like Kakou (“many hands working
together”)—which signifies that we cannot do the work we do without the support of our
community. This is an invitation to join that community and work with us.
Your generous contributions will allow for the continuance of essential services to the individuals
and families with children in Hawaii who need a hand along the road to self-sufficiency. Call
(808) 664-1400 and ask to speak with Gladys or Ikaika, or visit us at www.usvetsinc.org for the
many ways in which your support can be felt by our veterans and non-veteran families.

NOVEMBER 10, 2015
(Start date of this moon calendar)
This circular calendar offers a Hawaiian perspective on the flow of time. Its design reflects the
relationships among the spiritual, natural, and human realms. In Hawaiian culture, the mahina
(moon) is an abode of the goddess Hina. Our kËpuna (ancestors) used the phases of the mahina
as a guide to sustain life and maintain balance in the environment. Today, many people continue
to rely on traditional Hawaiian knowledge as a guide for daily activities, including fishing and
farming. How do the moon cycles affect you, your family, and your environment?
HOW TO USE THE MOON CALENDAR
Plant ipu, kalo and flowering plants
•
This calendar starts on November 10, 2015 with Hilo, the first pØ (night) of the moon cycle.

Follow the pØ in a clockwise fashion, moving from the outermost ring inward.
•
Each ring represents one full moon cycle or malama (traditional Hawaiian month). The 12-malama
Hawaiian year starts with Welehu and ends with ‘IkuÅ. Three extra malama are included in this chart,
making this calendar useful through January 2017.
•
Western calendar months are represented by different colors, and Western dates are numbered
in each box.
•
There are two seasons in the Hawaiian year: kau (dry season) and ho‘oilo (wet season).
Kau starts in the malama of Ikiiki and ends in ‘IkuÅ. Ho‘oilo starts in Welehu and ends in Welo.
