Many issues face north shore businesses on a daily basis.  Here is your opportunity to get involved and make a difference in what happens to our beautiful Garden Island.  In the past, some of the projects that KNSBC has taken an active role in include:

• Co-sponsored the first  "Second Saturday -Hanalei Festival of the Arts."  This successful event is now held every month.
• Initiated growth of the Kauai Plastic Recycling Project.  The plastic recycling project, which began in 1999, helped plant the seed for recycling on the north shore and ultimately all Kauai.
• Held job trade fairs in Hanalei.  These networking events exposed local businesses to potential clients as well as to each other.
• Promoted the health & wellness industry--before an annual health & wellness event existed on island--at its General Membership Meeting at Guava Kai Plantation.
• Sponsored a meeting at the Church of the Pacific to discuss bypass alternatives that would affect travel to the north shore.
• Hosted the Hawaii Home Ownership Program on the north shore.  This event provided consultation services for first-time home buyers to help them qualify for affordable housing funding in the future.  The north shore event achieved the largest attendance of the 5 events held island wide. 

The KNSBC hosts informational workshops and networking get-togethers on a regular basis. Please let us know if have any ideas for future events or would like to learn more about particular topic. We love to get ideas from our members.
