Our Priorities
EDUCATION – GEER FUND

Governor Ige convened the GEER Advisory Group of education leaders from Hawai’i’s public, private, and charter schools to address the unprecedented needs that emerged due to the pandemic.

Mahalo to the many firefighting crews who worked over the Thanksgiving weekend to put out a fire in Kalihi that spread to Honolulu Forest Reserve. Their efforts helped to protect massive amounts of forest land.![]()
