Aileen Utterdyke
Pacific Historic Parks | A3H Board Member | Oʻahu Representative
 

“Serving on the A3H Board is an opportunity to connect individual organizations with the broader Hawaiʻi visitor industry. A trade association should promote not only business, but also responsible best practices. Attractions can support education, research programs, restoration, and preservation as part of destination stewardship.Through A3H, we can collaborate to ensure a deeper understanding of our shared values for visitors and residents throughout our communities in Hawaiʻi.”

Michael Carr
USS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc. | A3H Board Member | Oʻahu Representative
Hawaiʻi’s attractions and activities are remarkably diverse, but we share many common responsibilities. Whether we are preserving history, sharing culture, operating on the ocean, providing transportation, or offering another type of visitor experience, we all have a role in how Hawaiʻi is experienced and remembered.
My participation on the A3H Board allows me to contribute the perspective of an Oʻahu attraction while learning from operators throughout the state. To me, a trade association provides the structure for that collaboration—helping businesses share knowledge, address common concerns, and strengthen the communities in which we operate.

Kamika Smith
President 
“On Kauaʻi, business is personal. We know our employees, our neighbors, and many of the families behind the companies that make our visitor industry work. Serving on the A3H Board for several decades now, representing Kauai, gives me a way to bring that Kauaʻi perspective into a statewide organization. To me, a trade association is about having a trusted network — people who can share information, solve problems, and work together when our industry or our communities face challenges. A3H helps give individual businesses a stronger collective voice while still respecting what makes each island and each community unique.”

Toni Marie Davis

Executive Director

“Serving A3H has shown me again and again what can happen when independent businesses choose to work together. To me, that is the heart of a trade association: communication, collective representation, shared resources, and the understanding that we can accomplish things together that would be difficult for any one company to accomplish alone. Our members live and work in these islands. Their employees, families, customers, and businesses are part of our communities. My role on the Board and as Executive Director is to help connect those voices and turn shared needs and ideas into action that benefits both our industry and Hawaiʻi.”
