2025 Installation & Awards Banquet
HJJCC Installation Banquet is an event where we install our incoming board of directors, as well as say thank you and farewell to our outgoing board members. We also announce and recognize our HJJCC Member of the Year, CBF Steering Committee Member of the Year, and HJJCC Board of Director of the Year award. In addition to our board of directors, we invite VIPs, family, friends, and HJJCC members.
This year, we held a small event at the Generations Ballroom at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii.
