~~Throughout its 30-year history, the Hawaii Business Roundtable has worked to help improve public education in Hawaii.
Our members understand the difficulty of changing a system as large and complicated as the state Department of Education. While there is much work to be done, we feel the efforts of our first-ever appointed Board of Education deserve recognition as it works to implement positive change in collaboration with the DOE and larger community.
