Gov. Josh Green appointed Michael Miyahira to the University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents (BOR), as the Hawaiʻi County member. He is the owner of Business Strategies, a company that provides consulting services to family owned and closely held businesses and focuses on succession planning, family business governance issues and strategic planning.
Prior to 2000, Miyahira spent more than 24 years with one of Hawaiʻi’s largest commercial banks and spent the bulk of his banking career as a senior credit officer and manager of several of the bank’s business. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaiʻi, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, the Hawaiʻi Island Chamber of Commerce and the Island of Hawaiʻi YMCA.
If confirmed (by the state senate), Miyahira would be seated immediately as the holdover member, succeeding Alapaki Nahale-a who resigned from the UH BOR earlier this month. The term is set to expire June 30, 2028.
