Hawaiiana Management Company recently promoted Ed Kaya and Charla Trevenen to Executive Vice President positions.

Kaya joined Hawaiiana as Controller 19 years ago after serving as Director of Financial Planning and Analysis for C. Brewer and Company. Under Kaya’s leadership, Hawaiiana’s financial reporting has become the "gold standard" in the industry and today he and his department of 60 dedicated Hawaii-based accounting professionals oversee client operating and reserve accounts representing more than $327 million. "Hawaiiana is always looking for new ways to provide the best services to our client
associations and their members," says Kaya. "Hawaiiana’s flexibility and technology can provide specialized financial reports to Boards either on the accrual, cash or modified accrual basis. Members can view billing statements online, automate their payments, or make payments
on line using checks or credit or debit cards, making it easy to manage their accounts."

Charla Trevenen joined Hawaiiana in 1981, and oversees a staff of 35 administrative assistants on four islands. Trevenen, along with four of her staff members, have the distinction of being with the company for more than three decades.

During her tenure, Trevenen has been responsible for the successful meeting administration and election of directors at thousands of owners meetings. Trevenen has also successfully handled all aspects of new account administration, including the transfer of more than 400 new client accounts representing 60,000 new residential units -- including two of Hawaii’s largest associations, the 8,000 unit Ewa by Gentry and the 2,900 unit Waikele Community Association.

"During my 34 years at Hawaiiana, I can honestly say that our larger company is so much better for clients and employees. In the early days when we were smaller, when clients needed help we often had to re-invent the wheel each time a question came up. We had to drop everything and fit troubleshooting in between tasks like stuffing envelopes and filling in for the receptionist. Now we can get answers quickly to most any problem through our in-house network of our 200 employees. Our larger company has the depth and resources to make the client the #1 focus."

Hawaiiana President Mike Hartley said, "Ed and Charla work quietly behind the scenes, but touch the lives of every one of our 90,000 unit owners, site managers and industry vendors. From the maintenance fee bills sent to the owners, the payment checks which vendors receive, the petty cash reimbursements paid to the site managers and the annual community association meetings, Accounting and Administration are truly the backbone of our business."
