A message from our student sponsor, Island Pacific Academy:

 

Micah has been a leader and a force in our community for decades. In addition to a successful private sector career, he was the chair of the Department of Hawaiian Homelands and has served on numerous private and nonprofit boards, including Kamehameha Schools. Micah is a graduate of Kamehameha Schools and Menlo College and he received his MBA from the University of Hawai‘i.

A profile of Micah by Hawaii Business Magazine Senior Writer Beverly Creamer appears in our December issue and at hawaiibusiness.com. In the report, he says the CEO of the Year honor should actually be given to the entire HCF team. “There’s nothing more important to me about this recognition than my team truly understanding that they own this – 110% of it.”

Editor Steve Petranik says Micah would be a worthy choice as CEO of the Year in any recent year. “But in the year of the pandemic, Hawaii Business Magazine felt it was especially important to recognize him and HCF’s important work that supports hundreds of thousands of local people battered by the pandemic and shutdowns. Indirectly, honoring Kāne and HCF is a way to honor the work of all local nonprofits.”
