PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – Joseph D. Pluta Aloha Dear Friends of West Maui. This year we are doing something different. We will be having the WMTA Annual Meeting in September, followed by our General Candidates Night. Initially we were not going to have a General Candidates Night, however the Board of Directors agreed on the importance of this election year. The Lahaina Fires have changed everything. We feel the strong desire to reprioritize health and safety improvements. emergency preparedness as well as homelessness and mental health assistance. Our crisis issues should be our primary focus. The Annual meeting will allow for meeting our bylaw requirement for the election of directors and will take less than 15 minutes to be followed by remarks from our Mayor Richard Bissen.WMTA 2024 General Election Candidates Night and Annual Meeting on Monday, September 30, 2024will start at 3:00 pm with a Meet & Greet, Annual Meeting will begin at 5 pm, then Candidates Q & A Forum will start at 5:30 pm and will be at the Lahaina Civic Center – Social Hall – 1840 Honoapiilani Hwy, Lahaina, HI 96761.West Maui is a unique and vibrant community that provides employment opportunities and generates significant tax revenues for all levels of government. WMTA is also unique in that our mission is to promote efficient use of the taxes generated to invest in infrastructure, services and amenities that help ensure that West Maui remains one of the best places to live, work and visit in the world. Our West Maui community has come together with Aloha for improved health and safety for our community once again. It’s a “HANA HOU!” The “one more time” for a community-public private partnership to save lives and property. There is no question that the miracle of a community privately developing its second fire station is officially underway. The West Maui community has spoken with their wallets and personal attendance in support of the proposed Olowalu Fire Station. It’s been said that our dreams become reality when we engage and build partnerships that can change the world. That’s precisely what the WMTA and WMIF are all about. We have already done what was said to be impossible and we are still on that same path with our Olowalu Fire Station and more. Join us and be a part of the solution!
