TO IMPROVE STANDARDS OF BUILDING AND CONTRACTING, TO PROVIDE SAFETY TRAINING TO MEMBERS AND TO UPDATE MEMBERS ON INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS.

PROGRAM - THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR MONTHLY GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD IN CONJUCTION WITH NETWORKING EVENTS. IN 2019-2020 THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE CONTINUED IN THEIR ROLE TO INCREASE MEMBER ATTENDANCE AND CULTIVATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF CAMARADERIE, EVEN AMONGST COMPETITORS. THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT SPEAKERS AND VENUES TO ENCOURAGE MEMBER PARTICIPATION THROUGH EDUCATION, COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CONTRIBUTIONS. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE ORGANIZATION HAD AN ESTIMATED TOTAL OF 400 MEMBERS/GUESTS THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS.

SAFETY - OUR SAFETY COMMITTEE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE ORGANIZATION AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING OUR SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM FOR THE MEMBERS. CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF HAWAII HIOSH AND FEDERAL OSHA TO BE CERTIFIED IN SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION CLASSES. HICA PROVIDES MOST OF THESE SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION CLASSES TO OUR MEMBERS AT DISCOUNTED RATES. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, HICA HELD 8 SAFETY CLASSES ATTENDED BY 450 PEOPLE.

SCHOLARSHIP TOURNAMENT (STTC)/GOLF- THE HICA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE STTC COMMITTEE AND GOLF COMMITTEE'S EFFORTS PROVIDED FOR A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN MEMBER PARTICIPATION WHICH RESULTED IN AN INCREASE IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND. HICA IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT CONTRIBUTING TO THE NEXT GENERATION, AND THROUGH THE CONTINUED EFFORTS OF THESE COMMITTEES, MORE HAWAII COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS WILL BENEFIT THROUGH THE SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN. THIS YEAR, THREE RECIPIENTS WERE SELECTED AS SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS. TOTAL SCHOLARSHIPS PAID OUT WAS $3,000.
