The finalists were selected by an 12-member committee from a group of 19 applicants, three of whom were internal candidates. The finalists will participate in individual Stakeholders Meetings, to be scheduled in early June on the Kapalama campus. Selected representatives from community groups, alumni and Hawaiian organizations will be invited to assist with the interview process. The meetings will be open to staff and other KS 'ohana members as observers. Details about the Stakeholders Meetings will be announced next week. Upon completion of the Stakeholders Meetings, the selection committee will reconvene to make their final recommendation to the CEO.
