ABOUT US
The Hawaii United Okinawa Association is a 501(3)c
non-profit organization whose mission is to promote, perpetuate and preserve
Okinawan culture. The organization is made up of 49 member clubs, whose combined
member total exceeds 40,000 members. It is governed by a Board of Directors
representing each HUOA Member Club, an elected Executive Council. HUOA employs
an Executive Director and a staff of three full-time and two part-time
employees. We are truly fortunate to have an extraordinary team of volunteers
who become active and represent their Clubs, become officers of HUOA, run
various cultural and community events, provide support staff in the office, work
as landscapers, maintenance workers, painters, janitors, and list goes on. What
we are known for and our biggest of event the year is the Okinawan Festival,
traditionally held on the Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend at Kapiolani
Park in Waikiki.
