Convention 2009
The 2009 50th Annual Convention was held at Makena, Maui at the Maui Prince Hotel from Nov 1-8. The theme was Aloha 'Āina.
"Aloha 'Āina is the relationship that the Hawaiian has with land. We understand the intricacies of the land, its temperament, its faults, and its bounty. We know that we are a part of this universe and not separate from it. In our tradition the land is our ancestor and we afford our ancestor our utmost respect."
Lui K. Hokoana, President
