Building a Stronger Hospitality Future for Hawai'i, Together.
Membership is the heart of HSMAI Hawai'i — it’s how we learn, connect, and grow as a hospitality ‘ohana. But even if membership isn’t the right fit right now, you can still make an impact through sponsorship or volunteering. Every contribution helps our community learn, grow, and thrive together.
