Mayor Richard Bissen announces creation of a Lāhainā Advisory Team, community informational meetings, and plans to establish an Office of Recovery.

In a key step toward recovery, Mayor Richard Bissen has formed a 5-member Lāhainā Advisory Team comprised of Lāhainā residents. The Advisory Team will serve as a critical resource and will meet weekly with Mayor Bissen to ensure the needs and desires of the community are part of discussions and decisions the County is involved in. “As parents, business owners, compassionate community leaders and residents who have long-standing and generational ties to Lāhainā, each member offers a perspective that will help guide key discussions as we purposefully and mindfully go forward,” Mayor Bissen said. “I’m deeply grateful for their willingness to give their time and their collective voice to help navigate these unprecedented times that truly must involve our community.”

Members of the Lāhainā Advisory Team are:

Archie Kalepa – 9th generation resident of Lāhainā; inducted in 2012 to the Duke Kahanamoku Foundation’s Hawai`i Waterman Hall of Fame; crew member of Hokule`a and Hawai`iloa voyaging canoes; leader of Maui Ocean Rescue and Safety; renowned big wave surfer.
