Board of Directors
The NHRLF Board of Directors is comprised of seven (7) community volunteers, which includes two (2) from the island of Oʻahu, one (1) from each island of Hawaiʻi, Maui, Molokai, and Kauaʻi, and one (1) OHA representative. Each Director has a term of three (3) consecutive years and may serve for no more than (2) consecutive terms for a total of six (6) years. The primary purpose of the Board is to make loan-approval decisions. The Board also provides oversight and guidance to the Loan Administrator on strategic direction, financial management, investment policy, loan product selection, loan delinquency management, and risk management. Each Board member possesses managerial or community leader experience and a proven track record of success. The Board also reflects the diverse business and economic sectors of the Hawaiian islands. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs would like to recognize the NHRLF Board of Directors for their hard work, commitment, dedication and service to the lāhui.
