Born on Oʻahu, Leilani founded the club to give NC's Hawaiians a home away from home.

Malia keeps the ʻohana connected — newsletters, records, and every warm welcome email.

David Pomaikaʻi

Treasurer

David stewards the club's finances so every dollar goes back to the community.

Kumu Hiʻilani Akana

Kumu Hula

Our hula teacher, carrying the dances and chants of generations to new dancers.
