President's Message

HWEA Positioned For Success
Aloha HWEA members! My name is Jessica Agsalda and I am honored to serve as HWEA President for the 2025-2026 term. As our Past-President, Brandon Uejo, and our Executive Director, Aiko Fajardo, have graciously brought me up to speed on all things HWEA, I am feeling hopeful and excited at all goals we will be working towards completing together.

This year, the Board will concentrate on revising HWEA’s three-year Strategic Plan. This process has prompted me to reflect on our organization’s core values and the services we provide our membership. I have also been reflecting on my own volunteer experience with HWEA which first began in 2013, when I became involved with the Young Professionals (YP) Committee.
