Overview
Mea Hoʻomanaʻo Award – Aloha Begins with Me
Purpose: Recognition program honoring the values of respect, civility, and aloha in community interactions. The program was initiated by late Kauai Mayor Bryan Baptiste to remind residents of the importance of these values.
Geographic Scope: Kauai, Hawaii
Background: The term "Mea Hoʻomanaʻo" refers to something that causes you to remember. A diverse team of Kauai residents designed the purple logo with the words "Aloha Begins With Me." The concept bridges gaps between generations, residents and newcomers, ethnic groups, and people of different income levels and educational achievements. It is aimed at residents, not visitors, and emphasizes that Kauai's future is our own kuleana (responsibility).
Nomination Criteria:
Recognition: Winner(s) are honored at the Chamber's 3rd Quarter General Membership Meeting
