Taking you further

Sales & Marketing Executives of Honolulu is a professional organization dedicated to ethical standards, knowledge sharing, mentoring students and advancing free enterprise. As the only executive sales and marketing association in Honolulu, SME Honolulu fills a void by providing a personal and professional community devoted to providing knowledge, growth, leadership and connections between peers in both sales and marketing. Our organization provides seminars, lectures and networking opportunities however we are perhaps best known for our Salesperson of the Year event, which honors community leaders.

Monthly Networking Meetings

We meet monthly for networking meetings and events. Our past events have included guest speakers, workshops, online webinars, training sessions, multi-organization Synergy networking events, and members-only events. The networking dinners are an “ideal dinner party that [he] gets to have with up to 100 of Honolulu’s most prominent business contacts almost every month” – SME Honolulu Member.

Members only events

Occasionally we get exclusive access to special venues or are offered behind-the-scenes opportunities.  These events are reserved for members only and often include gifts, prizes and exclusive rewards.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Robin Kennedy- Oshio

President, Sales & Marketing Executives

Dear Family,

To those of you who are already part of the Sales and Marketing Executives of Honolulu, let me say thank you for all the years you have been members and supported the mission of SME Honolulu. Your dedication and mentorship have changed the lives of many of us.

To those of you we have not met or that have not joined our family, we welcome you.

These are unprecedented times. The need for strategic marketing plans and out of the box thinking are integral to all our businesses. It is my mission this year to provide as many opportunities for our members to learn, grow and stay solvent during this crisis. It is times like these that we must come together and do whatever it takes to survive.

Our members are from all different types of businesses and are all going through different types of obstacles. Those of us who are succeeding are here, willing, and able to provide advice, direction, and a lending hand. It is with collaborative sessions and working together that we can find answers to help. You just must be willing to ask.

If you have successes you want to share, please do. If you have pain points you need help with, share those as well. We are here for you.

Our largest event of the year is always our Salesperson of the Year Banquet. 2020 was supposed to be the year we honored HLTA President Mufi Hannemann. Considering everything that is happening we have postponed that event. I encourage those of you who are contemplating membership to look at the list of past honorees. You will see the diverse relationships we carry with the elite in our industries and our commitment to honoring the work that they do daily to bring positive attention to our city and state.

We are a team of doers who enjoy having a good time and are committed to never bring you boring events. We are always looking for exciting fresh faces to join us in making this happen. Please reach out if you are interested in participating in being a guest speaker.

So for all of you current members and potential new members, or for those of you who just like to come and join us as guests, let me thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. We continue to strive to bring the latest and greatest technology and strategies in sales and marketing to help you in your business today and into the future.

We can get through these unprecedented times together. Please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or any board members for insights, ideas, thoughts help, or to join. We are always here for you.

Warm aloha,
Robin Kennedy- Oshio
