In 1995, HSBP embarked on a series of programs
entitled "Economic Growth Strategies For Hawaii". The programs
presented experts and organizations from every field vital
to Hawaii's economic growth.
Now, as we move into the 21st century, we
are focusing on a new theme, "Hawaii's Transition To The
New Global Economy". Our goal is to address issues that impact
you and your economic future.
The programs are designed to meet the following
objectives:
| • |
Provide a tangible benefit
to Hawaii's business community by supplying a
forum and focal point for discussions regarding
economic opportunities. |
| • |
Assist others in developing
action plans which will contribute to the economic
growth and well being of Hawaii. |
| • |
Strengthen working relationships
between the business, government and academic
sectors in shaping the state's economic destiny. |
| • |
Provide networking and educational
opportunities for HSBP members. |
|
At HSBP we encourage
your participation and hope that you will join us in this
transition.
