BLUEPRINT DESIGNING BEGINS

Jul 21, 2015 10:00:00 PM

It’s a master plan unique to each community, one that will guide residents of North Hawaii, East Hawaii, and Koolaupoko (Windward Oahu) towards their very own, custom-made Blue Zones Project vision.

This blueprint will shape how Blue Zones Project will be implemented in the three regions, which community leaders are now busy designing, analyzing, and finalizing.

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

Work began in May, after the national and local Blue Zones Project teams held a Leadership Institute in each of the three regions; May 27 thru 29 in North & East Hawaii, then May 30 and June 1 in Koolaupoko.

Nearly 200 community leaders total participated in the summit, and together they joined forces to identify goals, objectives, and strategies within the following sectors in their neighborhoods:
  • Schools

  • Community Policy

  • Restaurants and Grocery Stores

  • Engagement

  • Worksites

  • Faith-Based Communities

  • Tobacco Policy

  • Food Policy

Each sector has an assigned committee, and each committee has since been working on developing a blueprint, which will soon be finalized and unveiled to the public this Fall.

Mahalo to all Blue Zones Project community leaders for your hard work, diligence, and enthusiasm in helping bring this initiative to life!
