How to keep OA elections from being a popularity contest

Unit Elections Update

Currently, we have contacted 68% of the units in the council. Unit elections play a crucial role in our Lodge as they bring new members into our order and keep membership up, replacing members that did not previously re-register for the current year.

If you know of any units that have not had an election, please reach out to us at unitelections@wa-hi-nasa.org, or send them to https://wa-hi-nasa.org/unit-elections/ in order to request an election

Spring Shindig Recap

Aloha Wa-Hi-Nasa! Spring Shindig was a huge success! We were able to train our Arrowmen in areas such as Chapters, Service, and Leadership through treks and classes! After training, Wa-Hi-Nasa hosted its first chapter vs. chapter competitions in years! Members competed in Hawaiian-themed games like beach volleyball, coconut bowling, and pineapple carving. Congrats once more to Elk River on first place! Elk River received Wa-Hi-Nasa’s belt of glory, but they won’t get to keep it forever. At the end of the day, we hosted the luau!! It was full of congo lines, the limbo, and Pineapple cake! I’m so excited for the year to come!
