The ‘Ō‘ō Award, presented by the Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce, is the gold standard honor showcasing outstanding Native Hawaiians in business. The ‘Ō‘ō itself is made from precious hardwoods firmly rooted in the ‘āina. Today, the tool is used as a symbol to represent a recipient’s strong core values, business acumen, and leadership qualities – key ingredients for sustaining success within the Hawaiian community.
