CBY WEST O‘AHU VOICE STAFF
entral Pacific Bank Foundation wel- comes West O‘ahu women entrepre- neurs to apply for its “WE by Rising
Tide” program, which will help them shape their futures and achieve success in the busi- ness community. The deadline is June 3.
The free, 10-week program covers topics such as financial management and marketing and branding strategies, and also provides opportunities to network with successful women entrepreneurs and executives as well as advertise their business.
“My experience with WE by Rising Tide has been invaluable,” states Kapolei’s Ja- lene Kanani Hitzeman, Noho Home presi- dent and creative director, who was a cohort participant in the initial program in 2021. “As we continue to grow as a company, the resources provided were relevant and well- timed for our journey. Most importantly, the network of other female entrepreneurs really provided support that continues to grow and provide a safe space for sharing and collab- oration.”
