President's Message

Happy 2021!

New year with new exciting things coming our way! January just flew by and now with February already here, it's time for our council to get back to work and implement the plans for our upcoming events. I'm excited to announce the two new officers that filled the open positions for 2021; Carolyn Hyman is our new Membership Chair and Andrew Lui-Kwan is our new Secretary/Treasurer. You can read more about them in the previous email introduction sent earlier this week.

I would like to thank our outgoing officers J.R. Ludlow of Pacific Source Maui (previous Secretary/Treasurer) and Sophia Gallegos of Reflections Glass (previous Membership Chair). We appreciate all your hard work for our chapter over the years and we look forward to your participation on our various chapter committees (hint, hint).

There's a lot of news to share but I'm sure you have better things to do than read my long President's message. We'll post updates on our website: Upcoming free February webinars (great topics on Smart Homes and Tech), gallery of previous KBIS shows through the years (adding more content), 2021 Events Calendar (tentative schedule on website), recap of our first virtual presentation by Roseann Frietas in case you missed it (coming soon), plus links to our Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn social media accounts. See video and news below regarding our biggest industry show of the year KBIS, partnered again with the NAHB International Builders Show. This virtual show takes place February 9th-12th.

Until next time,
Cris Johnson, 2020/2021 President
