Known for her love of challenges and the community, Emily Reber Porter says she applies the phrase “kuleana awakens mana” to everything she does. She first heard the phrase when she visited the homeless community at the Wai‘anae Boat Harbor.

“That whole concept that when you feel responsible for something, when you feel like there is a purpose, it really awakens your power to make a difference and to work with others to be the change and to achieve the change,” says the Punahou, Princeton University and Harvard Law School alumna.

She adds that MacNaughton is committed to strengthening and diversifying the local economy and plans to get more involved in building affordable and workforce housing. The company has already worked on 51 Hawai‘i-based residential, multi-family rental, retail and hospitality projects.
