The Na Lei Aloha Foundation hosts the Annual Bridge of Friendship Conference to bring people together. Their mission “focuses on supporting or creating opportunities for diverse people to come together in ways that encourage uncovering common values and goals. Recognizing our commonalities can be a starting place for respect and cooperation to grow, and this can strengthen our Hawaiʻi community.”
Executive Director, Roxanne Bolden, was fortunate to attend this conference again on October 28, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. “Kuleana” was the theme of this year’s event. Attendees, representing various non-profit organizations and human service agencies across Hawaii, were treated to a morning of guest speakers, group activities, and personal sharing of the meaning of “kuleana” in their lives. It was an enlightening experience with like-minded community-contributing partners.
