These gatherings provide structured, respectful settings for meaningful dialogue between business and government leaders. They create access, encourage transparency, and deepen relationships that carry advocacy forward well beyond a single event. Advocacy is a long-term commitment. Progress is often incremental and not always visible, but it is durable. By showing up consistently, communicating clearly, and strengthening relationships year after year, the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce provides enduring leadership for a successful business environment in West Hawaiʻi. Each year, Chamber members interact directly with the Mayor and Hawaiʻi County leadership at the annual luncheon, held at The Westin Hāpuna Beach Resort. Here, Mayor Kimo Alameda greets the audience with shakas.
