The Kaua‘i County Council is proud to recognize and congratulate the Leadership Kaua‘i graduating class of 2026 on their successful completion of the intensive and immersive ten-month program in professional skill-building and community service.

Upon graduation, all participants are challenged to harness the skills and knowledge gained for the long-term benefit of the community.

The Council is honored to recognize the following individuals for their commendable dedication to the Leadership Kaua‘i program and the community of Kaua‘i:

On May 15, 2026, the Council of the County of Kaua‘i presented a Certificate to ROTARY CLUB OF KAUA‘I & ROTARY CLUB OF MORIYAMA, JAPAN, SISTER CLUBS FOR 50+ YEARS

The Kaua‘i County Council hereby extends its congratulations and recognition to the Rotary Club of Kaua‘i and the Rotary Club of Moriyama, Japan, in honor of their sister club relationship, which has flourished for more than five decades. This year also commemorates the 55th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Moriyama.

The sister club relationship between the Rotary Club of Kaua‘i and the Rotary Club of Moriyama was established in 1973, during the administrations of Kaua‘i Mayor Edwardo Malapit and Moriyama Mayor Nobuaki Takada. The partnership was initiated by Reverend Kondo, a Kaua‘i Rotarian, during a visit to Japan. Together, the two Clubs developed a student exchange program that has endured for generations. Since 1983, over 100 students have participated in a year-long academic exchange between Kaua‘i and Moriyama, fostering meaningful cross-cultural understanding, enduring friendships, and opportunities for academic and professional growth. On May 15, 2026, representatives of both Rotary Clubs will gather to commemorate the 50+ years of the sister club relationship and the 55th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Moriyama. Members will honor the friendship shared and the commitment to international goodwill, cultural exchange, and community connection between Kaua‘i and Moriyama.

The Kaua‘i County Council proudly recognizes more than 50 years of partnership between the Rotary Club of Kaua‘i and the Rotary Club of Moriyama, Japan, and celebrates the 55th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Moriyama.
