Our very own Kent Keith! - Zoom

The Shareholder Primacy Program

Nov 07, 2022 7:15 AM

About Kent

Kent arrived in Hawaii at the age of 14 and graduated from Stevenson Intermediate and Roosevelt High School. During his 40-year career he was an attorney with Cades Schutte, Director of Planning and Economic Development for the State of Hawaii, Project Manager for the Mililani Technology Park, Senior Vice President for the YMCA of Honolulu, President of Chaminade University, and President of Pacific Rim Christian University. He also served as CEO of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership in Indiana, and CEO of the Greenleaf Centre for Servant Leadership (Asia) in Singapore. He is the author of ten books on topics including the Paradoxical Commandments, servant leadership, and business ethics. Now retired from full-time work, Kent and his wife, Dr Elizabeth Keith, enjoy teaching and speaking, writing, and traveling. They have three grown children. Last month, they became grandparents for the first time. Kent first joined Rotary in 1991 and has been a member of the Rotary Club of Honolulu, the Rotary Club of Carmel, Indiana, and our own club. Kent’s topic today is “Resolving the Shareholder Primacy Problem.”

 

 

 

Resolving the Shareholder Primacy Problem


“Shareholder primacy” is the idea that shareholders own the business, so corporations must, as a matter of law, give the highest priority to maximizing shareholder wealth. Recent research indicates that the best way to maximize shareholder wealth is to take care of all stakeholders. Shareholder primacy is a myth, because it is based on a false assumption and a misreading of American law. While corporations are free to put shareholders first, they have no fiduciary duty or legal obligation to do so.

1000 Tree Giveaway - NO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Nov 12, 2022 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

NO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - ALL ARE WELCOME TO PICK UP A FREE PLANT OR TREE

 

What:  1000 Tree Giveaway

When: Saturday, November 12, 2022

Where: 2234 Kamehameha Avenue (College Hill).  Manoa. 

 

Event:  Join The Manoa Branch of the Outdoor Circle, Malama Manoa, and the Lyon Arboretum, to give away choices of dozens of plants and endemic trees. Arborists will be present to answer questions and give advice on the care and planting of trees.

 

Our urban forest is diminishing day by day! In Manoa, new construction abounds with tons of concrete for ohana additions, new homes, more parking space, and storage. We are taking a small step to increase the shade, diminish the glare, cool the increasing temperatures and make the island healthier.

Studies consistently reveal that landscaping increases the value of a property and its desirability. Mature trees enhance a property’s appearance. Planting trees, grass and shrubs pay huge dividends. It can cut energy bills and reduce your water bill. Trees keep the ground cooler. One study has shown that the shade produced by trees can rid a home of heat that would have taken two air conditioners to cool.

Air quality is improved. Trees help anchor soil to prevent erosion. Trees reduce runoff, saving the costs of drainage ditches and storms drains. Trees play an important role in deadening noise and absorbing unwanted sounds. Trees reduce smog. So, the importance of trees to our quality of life requires that we protect them, as we have in passing The Exceptional Tree Law in Hawaii. But we must be proactive and plant new trees and try to balance the destruction of so many mature trees that have grown for so many years. We all realize that trees are a critical component of numerous ecosystems and provide habitat for birds, small animal and flowers.

This year, the varieties of trees and plants will include kukui nut, monkeypod, hau (variegated and non-variegated), koa, ulu, mountain apple, soapberry, plumeria, avocado, milo, dwarf hau, red and green ti, false wiliwili, anthuriums, croton, monstera, palms, papaya,  and many others. Street parking should be ample.

We hope everyone will spread the word and share this post through the community about this upcoming biennial event. Mark your calendars! Do something about the hot weather. You are sitting in the shade today because someone has planted a tree. Save our island. Save our planet. Please plant a tree!

Catherine Orlans- Zoom (Joe)

Hawaii Tourism’s Shift to the Oahu Destination Management Action Plan

Nov 21, 2022 7:15 AM

 

 

The O‘ahu Visitors Bureau (OVB) appointed Catherine Orlans as destination manager in September 2021 where she is responsible for the implementation and oversight of the O‘ahu Destination Management Action Plan (DMAP), as well as O‘ahu’s Community Enrichment Program (CEP). She lends extensive experience in the hospitality industry, sales, and marketing, as well as sustainability to the position.

 

The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu and OVB, developed the O‘ahu DMAP with a 23-member steering committee and input from O‘ahu residents through community presentations and an online feedback form. With the goal of rebuilding, redefining and resetting the direction of tourism over a three-year period, the DMAP identifies areas of need and actionable solutions for enhancing the residents’ quality of life as well as improving the visitor experience.

 

Catherine is in charge of facilitating, implementing, and managing the O‘ahu DMAP actions. Her role includes leading meetings and discussions with organizations and agencies involved in the DMAP, as well as engaging with the wider community on DMAP activities and updates.

 

Orlans holds a B.S. in travel industry management from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa with an emphasis in sustainable tourism and transportation management focusing on impacts to indigenous host cultures of destinations. Orlans, an O‘ahu native, is also an advocate for diversity and inclusion as a mother of a son with autism.

Popoki Place

Jan 30, 2023 7:15 AM

Responding to the urgent need in the community to manage the cat crisis, a group of professionals have started a nonprofit organization called Popoki Place O'ahu Cat Sanctuary, which will be a large-scale no-kill permanent home for unadoptable feral cats roaming the beaches, parks and streets of O’ahu. While we are actively looking for land, we are raising awareness of the issue and how we believe Popoki Place is the missing link is solving this issue.

Roger Breisch - Zoom (wendy Intro)

Changing the course of Human History

Mar 27, 2023 7:10 AM

“Changing the Course of Human History”
Neil Postman once said, “Children are the living messages we send to a future we will not see.” Today, our youth are suffering from depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation at unprecedented rates, and, for the first time in human history, we have separated our youth from the elders and wisdom keepers of the culture. Can reconnecting youth with elders be a partial solution?
Having spent more than 4000 hours answering calls on a suicide hotline and thousands of hours working with teens in an anti-drug, anti-alcohol program, Roger Breisch has learned a great deal about the challenges and miracles that comprise much of the human journey. Roger has shared his insights with audiences across the country.

 

Biography

Roger has lived an eclectic life.

He holds a Master of Science in Mathematics from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Science in Management from the Sloan School at MIT. During his career he taught high school, was a manager for a Fortune 100 company, owned a management consulting company, and, most recently, ran the local Chamber of Commerce.

During his professional career, Roger has volunteered extensively. He chaired the local 4th of July Fireworks for 17 years, works with teens in an anti-alcohol, anti-drug program, and spent more than 4000 hours answering calls on the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline over that past 20 years.

Roger speaks and writes extensively. He has spoken at TEDxIIT, TEDxQuincy, and TEDxQuincyStudio. He published two books: “Questions That Matter,” and “Humanity’s Journey Home.” Today, Roger focuses on helping others discover a “Life That Matters.”

He and Judi, his wife of 40 years, have two grown children and live in Batavia, Illinois.
