    Gwen Ohashi Hiraga, Senior Advisor

    mhi-gwen-200x250Gwen was born and raised on Maui, attending both Maui Community College and the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Gwen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Asian and Pacific Studies. Prior to joining the company in 1997, she worked for the Maui County Council, Office of Council Services as its Director, and the Department of Planning where she served as Deputy Planning Director.

She serves on a number of community non-profit boards including the Hawaii Pacific Parks Association, Pacific Housing Assistance Corporation, Maui College Hui, Maui Police Commission, Maui Chamber of Commerce, and ARC of Maui. She enjoys cooking and baking and loves traveling to Japan, a trip that she makes at least once a year.
