Kauai heading for the ‘Hill’

HONOLULU — Kauai will join other islands in showcasing businesses and industries with the “Hawaii to the Hill” event July 22-23, in Washington, D.C.

“This ‘Hawaii on the Hill’ initiative is a great opportunity for Hawaii businesses and industries, and for the state as a whole, to share what makes our island state so special,” said Sherry Menor-McNamara, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii.

U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono is expected to participate as an honorable guest of the Hawaii Congressional Delegation for the “Taste of Hawaii.” 

The event features the state’s food, culture and industries. The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii is leading this first-ever effort to bring “made-in-Hawaii” goods along with showcasing industries together for members of Congress, national association executives and other representatives.

Hirono said the Taste of Hawaii provides an opportunity to showcase the ingenuity of entrepreneurs and small business owners across the state and that it would help boost the economy.
