🌟 Growing Hawaiʻi’s next generation of leaders.
Shidler College alumna Kaya Ishimine, BBA ’24, has quickly turned her passion for marketing, leadership and community-building into a fast-growing career with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii.
After joining the chamber while still a Shidler student, Ishimine advanced from marketing and Chamber of Commerce Hawaii Young Professionals (YP) program roles to associate executive director. In July, just two years after graduating, she stepped into the role of executive director of the YP Program.
Today, she helps lead a network of more than 600 young professionals across Hawaiʻi, creating opportunities for members to connect, grow and lead.
As Ishimine says, “No one knows young professionals better than young professionals.”
