It has heen a privilege anel honor to have sei-ved as OHA Trustee At 'l Large lor 20 years (1996-2016) and as Chairperson ol • the OHA Board ol Trustees lor approximately ten years. y . ; Rest assured that this transition does not diminish \ my will nor my locus to eonūnue to "empowei' Native N Hawaiians and strengthen Hawai'i." My 20 years oi sei-vice at ALU LIKE, ine. and these 20 years at OHA have hlessed me with working alongside and among honorahle, ethical, and honest leaders, iamilies and - communities, across Hawai'i and this nation. For that : ■ . privilege, I am eternally grateiul. Transiorming social justice into positive and truthiul action to "empowei' Native Hawaiians and strengthen BHawai'i" should remain uppermost ior all oi us whether n Native Hawaiian or non-Native. The iuture ior OHA and Native Hawaiians in the Bemerging complex and coniusing political socioeeonomie climate will be challenging and demanding oi stable, unified, collaborative and cohesive actions. Let us hope OHA and all oi us are ready ior these challenges. Leave a legacy ol "hana me ka 'ōia'i'o, hana me ka ■ ha'aha'a a e 'ōlelo pono kākou"! Finally, on hehali oi Reynold and Louise, and staii that • sei-ved with us during our 20 year tenure we say mahalo, mahalo a nui iā kākou e Hawai'i. E mau ana ka ha'aheo, mau a mau !
