Rick Egged Waikiki Improvement Assoc President


By Rick Egged President of Waikiki Improvement Association
I have been with the Waikiki Improvement Association (WIA) for the past nine years, happy to have a job supporting the community I love. WIA is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to making Waikiki a great place to invest, work, live and play. For almost 40 years - our anniversary is in October - WIA has worked with public officials, battled in the courts, lobbied in the Legislature, cleaned the beach, patrolled the streets of Waikiki, produced events for the community and much more.
Its members represent the major stakeholders in Waikiki - businesses of all types - the visitor industry, property owners and professionals. As the leading advocate for Waikiki, they work in partnership with business and government to identify needs, develop strategies, shape public policy and implement programs to strengthen the physical and economic vitality of Waikiki and its role in the state’s economy

  1. Rick, i met you at Edgy Lee's when Edgy and I were creating the Waikiki film and book a decade or so back.
    I'd like to talk with you about the possibility of combining an updated book --Waikiki, In the Wake of Dreams -- with the film as an IBook for travel agents and visitors.
    aloha,
