Advisory Board

In 2023, Hawai‘i Baptist Academy established an Advisory Board comprising individuals with a special connection to the school—whether as alumni, current or past parents, or grandparents. This dynamic group provides invaluable input, support, and key influence with external constituencies, fostering relationships and advocacy to further HBA’s goals and mission.  They serve a 3-year commitment with an opportunity to renew. 

While the Advisory Board is not a governing body, its members play a crucial role in offering guidance as HBA leadership navigates strategic opportunities and challenges, makes informed decisions, and secures the resources needed to fulfill the school’s mission. Each of these individuals brings a unique perspective, deep expertise, and a shared passion for HBA’s mission. We are grateful for their leadership, insight, and commitment to the school’s continued success.
