Annual Membership Meeting & Allied Showcase
Aloha Members, This past year has been a challenging one for the island. Recovery from the Maui Wildfires has created a shift in our economy and many of our Allied and Property Members have restructured in some way. One of these many avenues of change for Maui, involve our food sourcing and agricultural opportunities. We therefore, present a special panel discussion at this year's annual event, titled "Synergy Between Tourism and Agriculture: Mutual Benefits and Growth." We hope you join us and the many new members of MHLA at our in-person, afternoon fun tradeshow, networking, and food-forward event.
