Event Details

Hawaii Business Magazine continues CHANGE Event series covering Hawai‘i's most important issues virtually:

Community & Economy, Health & Wellness, Arts & Culture, Natural Environment, Government & Civics, and Education.

Network with like-minded people at the after-panel virtual pau hana*.


In August, we will be hosting G- Government & Civics.


Improving Our Political Climate

Change will happen when more citizens are involved, including leaders and ordinary people from our neighborhood, businesses, nonprofits and governments.

Hear from our speakers about:

  1. The pandemic has revealed further flaws in state and county governments. What can we do to fix the worst of our governments’ flaws?
  2. The long-term finances of state and county government were dire before the pandemic and now are worse. What are the most important steps we should take?
  3. By several measures, Hawai‘i has the worst rate of voting in the country. How can we engage more people in civics and meaningful political conversations?
  4. How can we build consensus and shared purpose in Hawai‘i despite our differences?

Colin Moore, Director of the Public Policy Center, and Associate Professor of Political Science
