The HEA offers members an opportunity to
exchange business leads and information with the goal of
gaining an advantage in timing over nonmember competitors.
Member firms share the common objectives of improving sales,
and maintaining market presence while practicing high standards
and honorable business ethics. Service provided by member
companies is regarded as being equal to or surpassing that
of a competitor.
History
Established in 1972, the Honolulu Executives
Association was formed to provide a networking opportunity
for members, all of whom are key players in the local business
community.
Although the HEA is not a social, service
or fundraising organization, there are several social activities
throughout the year, including the annual golf tournament
and seasonal celebrations. Member firms also host Open House
functions throughout the year, to aid in familiarizing each
member with the business of the others.
Benefits
Benefits include access to top management
in diverse fields, direct and indirect business leads, and
the opportunity to network with an enthusiastic, diversified
group of people who may provide relevant information before
it becomes public knowledge.
Eligibility
Membership is open to any legitimate business
that has been operating in the State of Hawaii for at least
one full year. Membership is held by the members firm
and the representative is to be an owner, officer or other
key personnel of the firm. Only one member per business category
