As a new organization, we established our governance, board and officers. Through the year, we focused on establishing our mission and transitioning from the previous owners/operators. We began community engagement and worked with local schools to develop both relationships and programs for students at 'iole. We named a CEO in april and provided time for him to work with the team in caring for the lands and facilities. We continued to host groups, mainly local to hawaii island, for their visits and activities at 'iole and worked to tie their stays with our mission. We also began engagement with ranching and farming lessees to develop a long-term land in the land stewardship and management.
