2026 CPCU/HIIA All Industry Day

Hawai'i's property and casualty insurance professionals came together for a day of learning, camaraderie, and friendship at the 2026 All-Industry Day presented by the Hawaii Chapter CPCU Society and HIIA.

Held on September 11 at the Honolulu Country Club, this year's event embraced the theme "Striving and Thriving," reflecting a community that keeps reaching for more while finding strength and steadiness along the way. Attendees earned continuing education credit led by local and national industry experts, spanning D&O, fire investigations, and water damage restoration. Keynote speaker Angela Ripley, CIC, CRM, AIS, LUTCF, chair of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, shared her perspective on the road ahead for independent agents. Sherry A. McFadden, Immediate Past President of the CPCU Society, conferred the designation on four new CPCUs — Xavier Aquiat, Michael Cofran, Chang Mo Kang, and Ryan Zane and gave an incredible speech on engagement. The day also included a donation to the Hawai'i Foodbank, underscoring the industry's commitment to professionalism, education, and the community it serves.

2026 Summer Social

On July 28, 2026, the CPCU Society Hawaii Chapter hosted its Summer Social at Pitch Sports Bar in SALT Kaka’ako, Honolulu. More than 50 members and industry colleagues gathered for an evening of networking, socializing, great food, and live entertainment.

The event celebrated the chapter’s continued commitment to advancing education within the insurance industry, and provided a special opportunity to recognize our newest CPCU designees for their achievement.

A special thank you to Zephyr Insurance for sponsoring the amazing sushi hand roll station, and to Dustin Park for generously donating his talents to provide our live entertainment — both were definite highlights of the evening!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in making the evening a success — we look forward to seeing you at future chapter events!
