The Hawaiʻi Leadership Forum is dedicated to developing, engaging, and inspiring leaders to drive impact and catalyze positive change.

This principle is woven into each of our programs, grounded in the belief that Hawai‘i’s strength lies in leaders who embrace the shared responsibility of addressing our islands’ most pressing issues.

The Omidyar Fellows, HLF’s cornerstone program, exemplifies this commitment by uniting diverse leaders across Hawai‘i who share a vision for a brighter future. Fellows are equipped with essential skills and a vibrant network that allow them to lead with purpose, mobilize communities, drive lasting improvements.

Waves of Change: Hawai‘i Leadership Forum Impact Report 2024

Waves of Change, Hawai‘i Leadership Forum’s inaugural Impact Report, reflects on 12 years of shared work to strengthen leadership across Hawai‘i. It highlights how individuals who connected through HLF’s programs—Omidyar Fellows, Leaders Lab participants, and other community partners and collaborators—are taking action, building meaningful relationships, and responding to the state’s most complex challenges.

More than a summary of accomplishments, the report reflects how leadership in Hawai‘i continues to evolve, grounded in shared responsibility and long-term commitment.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic—because we’ve seen what’s possible when leadership is rooted in action and shared responsibility. Together, we can continue building a more resilient and thriving Hawai‘i.
