Akakū Maui Community Media is stepping up its commitment to the local business community with a new salon series dedicated to highlighting entrepreneurs across Maui Nui. This initiative offers a valuable platform for small business owners to showcase their ventures, share experiences, and connect with the broader community.
The series, as announced by Maui Now, aims to promote community engagement and provide networking opportunities. These salons, which often feature speakers, screenings, and workshops, align with Akakū's broader mission of "Empowering Our Community’s Voice," as stated on their official website Akaku.org. The salons are typically held monthly, with the Akakū Upstairs space being the venue for these events. This series presents a unique opportunity for both established and emerging businesses to gain visibility and foster valuable connections.
Akakū’s commitment extends beyond this series. The organization actively supports community media through various channels, including its mobile app, MAUI STREAM, which provides live streaming and video-on-demand content, as reported by Akaku.org. Furthermore, Akakū has a history of hosting diverse events, including film salons, as seen in a recent article in The Maui News. These programs demonstrate Akakū's dedication to informing and engaging the Maui community on a variety of topics.
For entrepreneurs and business professionals in Maui, this salon series represents a significant opportunity to network, learn, and gain exposure. By participating, local businesses can strengthen their presence in the community and potentially attract new customers and investors. The series underscores the importance of community media in fostering local business growth and development in Maui Nui.
