Our Story

Aloha!

We originally started the Kuleana Summit based on our experiences as AAPI founders in the clean energy sector. We felt like there was a clear need to build community, create a pipeline of mentorship, and catalyze further growth.

So Why Kuleana?

In Hawaiian, "Kuleana" refers to a sense of responsibility, privilege, and stewardship. By choosing this name, this Summit emphasizes the collective responsibility of AAPI leaders to not only advance the clean energy industry but the values of (1) intentional community building, (2) empowerment through visibility and (3) nurturing leadership.

If you're invigorated by this mission and want to support or participate in our programming, please don't hesitate to reach out.
