8th Annual Native Hawaiian Convention
Making Our Future Now
August 25-27, 2009
Hawai'i Convention Center
The Annual Native Hawaiian Convention is the largest
gathering of community members, organizations, policy makers,
legislative representatives, and Federal agencies interested in Native
Hawaiian community development. Each year the Convention features
dynamic speakers, informative presentations, timely policy reports,
public policy plenary sessions, luncheons, banquets, keynote addresses,
roundtables, and workshops, that focus on issues related to cultural
preservation, education, housing, economic development, land access,
and self-determination.
Come celebrate our collective progress and find common
ground, as we work to address current and future challenges as a
community. Join us in August as we share knowledge and skills, discover commonalities, challenges and solutions, and celebrate our collective success!
