History

Our founder and benefactor, Helga Glaesel-Hollenback, originally hailed from Germany. Late in her life, Helga moved to the United States and made Honolulu her home. In 1990, she established Hauʻoli Mau Loa Foundation.

Board of Directors

In a practice set by the benefactor, the Board of Directors of Hauʻoli Mau Loa Foundation carries out its responsibilities and duties by working closely with program staff in a collaborative team approach.
