AN INTEGRAL PART OF HAWAII’S YESTERDAY, TODAY— AND TOMORROW BY LEE SCHALLER Celebrating the retirement of the balance of the mortgage on BIA-Hawaii’s Construction Training Center (CTC) and the completion of the “Changing Lives, Building a Legacy” capital campaign, are Robert Armstrong, left, BIA-Hawaii past president and chairman of the CTC capital campaign; Karen Nakamura, executive vice president and CEO of BIA-Hawaii; and Kahu Kelekona Bishaw. The “burn the mortgage” event was held in August at CTC. Inset: BIA-Hawaii’s 16,000-square-foot Construction Training Center (CTC), located in Waipahu’s Mill Town Center, was completed in late 2009. Since its inception 58 years ago, the Building Industry Association of Hawaii (BIA) has been committed to its clear and original mission—“To take a leadership role in unifying and promoting the interests of the industry to enhance the quality of life for the people of Hawaii.” Through the good years and the lean years, including the recent devastating downturn in Hawaii’s economy and its impact on all sectors, this commitment has not diminished. In fact, it has grown stronger, as evidenced by the association’s continuing contributions in areas from advocacy to education and its passion and determination to create an even better Hawaii for future generations. www.buildingindustryhawaii.com | 37 http://www.buildingindustryhawaii.com
