In Person Convenings

Statewide Talk-Story + Listening Sessions


We know that in person connecting is a big part of building pilina, so we’re coming to you! HANO and our partner, AlohaCare, are hosting half-day talk story + listening sessions in every county. These convenings are an opportunity to come together, share and learn. We’ll share what HANO’s been working on but we’re MOST interested to talk story with YOU about how you are navigating the rapidly changing environment and how HANO can best support your efforts.

Nonprofit organizations focus on alleviating poverty, providing employment services, promoting community health and well-being, and other vital community services. Nonprofits are doing their part to raise awareness of the challenges to whole communities, to collect and analyze data to identify the problem and solutions, and to take action to protect and care for our communities. The health of our sector directly impacts the effectiveness of our organizations and our ability to meet our goals, missions and mandates.


Talk-Story + Listening session are on Fridays from 9 AM – 12:30 PM. Breakfast and snacks provided. All sessions are FREE, but we ask for your kokua.  Please register so that we’ll have accurate information for logistical purposes
