 Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee At-large Haunani Apoliona has retained the chairmanship of OHA’s Board of Trustees, after the board met to vote on its leadership following a swearing-in and public investiture ceremony at Kawaiahao Church on Dec. 6. Apoliona retained her chairmanship in a 6-2 vote, with Trustee At-large Rowena Akana receiving two votes.
Recently re-elected Trustee At-large John D. Waihee IV was unanimously chosen by the eight trustees present to continue as the board’s vice chair. Waihee himself was absent from the meeting, however, due to illness. Hawaii Island Trustee Linda Dela Cruz was also nominated for vice chair, but declined the nomination.
