Statewide Conference Regarding Sequestration

Posted by Kahoomiki

Aloha: When Congress returns to session next Monday, February 25, they will once again face the federal budget crisis and the sequestration issue. There is no way of knowing whether this impending deadline will once again be postponed or if the sequestration reductions will actually occur. However, we thought it prudent to establish a communication platform that will allow us all to interact if we are indeed faced with the sequestration funding reductions.

The Hawaii Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations (HANO) and Aloha United Way (AUW) invite you to join us in a statewide conversation about the potential impacts of sequestration. You can join us at the AUW offices or join via teleconference.

Our Mission Statement

To actively support and encourage lifelong healthy lifestyles through physical activity, good nutrition, and community and social interaction, to enhance the quality of life for all Hawai`i residents.

Financial Limitations
