JASH Hosts Successful 5:01 Pau Hana with Hilton Grand Vacations
On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Japan-America Society of Hawaiʻi (JASH) held a vibrant 5:01 Pau Hana networking event, generously sponsored by Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV).
The gathering took place in the elegant Sun Suite at The Modern Honolulu, one of HGV’s premier properties. Over 70 guests attended the evening event, enjoying stunning views, great conversation, and a special presentation by the HGV team introducing their newest property — Ka Haku, a Hilton Club, located at 131 Kaʻiulani Avenue in Waikīkī.
The 5:01 Pau Hana series, named for its start time just after the workday ends, is designed to spotlight JASH’s diverse corporate members while offering an exclusive and intimate setting for meaningful networking. This event brought together JASH board directors, corporate and general members, and key partners, fostering new connections and reinforcing existing relationships.
