CHAPTER INFORMATION
Goals for the Chapter
- To support the mission of the East-West Center
- To increase active membership in the Chapter
- To support the Center through networking and fundraising activities
The Chapter has aimed to achieve its goals through various activities:
- Hosting an Annual Membership Meeting and Social is held usually each Fall, where the chapter's Outstanding Service Award, with a monetary gift, is presented to an EWCA-HI alumnus who has served the Center and the Association above and beyond.
- Creating the Professional Linkage Program (ProLink), which provides EWC participants, an opportunity to "shadow" relevant Center alumni in order to get first-hand experience of the everyday work environment and work culture. Each semester the ProLink Committee, made up of both alumni and participants, host a social for alumni and participants to meet "their match."
- Hosting current EWC participants on various socials and field trips to encourage alumni and participants to interact; cultivate current participants (future alumni); and offer the participants a chance to see more of Hawaii than the University campus. Past excursions have included a tour of Waimea Valley, a drum Pacific Drum Festival, and sponsorship to attend the annual meeting/social.
