Our Focus Areas

HEC is committed to building thriving communities by addressing Hawai‘i’s most pressing challenges and opportunities. We bring together leaders from all sectors to incubate ideas, accelerate progress on existing efforts, and shift systems to drive meaningful change that is grounded in trusted relationships and a shared kuleana (responsibility) to Hawai‘i’s people and ‘āina (land).

Our work focuses on five key areas: Transformative Leadership, Resilient Communities, Rediscovering Hawai‘i’s Soul, Housing for All, and Climate Hawai‘i. At the core of our work is a commitment to serve as a catalyst for transformation that helps to protect and perpetuate Hawai‘i’s Soul and builds a vibrant and resilient future for all.
