The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii Young Professionals’ Mentor Hawaii program , presented by American Savings Bank, recently celebrated the conclusion of Cohort 11, which brought together 42 mentors and 42 mentees from across Hawai‘i’s business community.
Through one-on-one mentorship, networking events, and shared experiences, participants developed leadership skills, gained valuable insights, and built relationships that extend beyond the program.

Mentorship doesn’t happen only in scheduled meetings. Throughout the cohort, participants gathered for special events designed to expand their networks and learn from one another.
The first gathering, sponsored by Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, featured a speed mentoring experience where mentees connected one-on-one with mentors beyond their assigned pairings. The format gave participants an opportunity to gain fresh perspectives and advice from a variety of professionals.
