HIRED Hawaii is a trademarked program under the business collaborator, Life Changing Connections LLC. HIRED Hawaii has a board of advisors and is run by Chief Collaboration Officer Ed Nishioka.

Ed has more than 30 years of experience in the non-profit, government and marketing space. He has gained a great deal of experience in designing programs for non-profit organizations and has taken that experience and his passion for helping people to create the HIRED Hawaii events. These events are set up through partnerships, sponsorships and collaborations. His mission as Chief Collaboration Officer is bringing the right people and companies together to benefit people in need and help tackle a problem with a solution rather than more questions on what needs to be done.
