Let me introduce, with great pleasure, a fellow candidate for the Ilikai AOAO Board of Directors: Robert Humphreys. Robert and I share the vision for the Ilikai and have agreed to join our efforts in terms of collecting vote proxies. As a reminder: the proxies are not the actual votes. Proxies are used to delegate the power to vote to another person. Proxies are commonly used to form a voting bloc so that votes can be consolidated. In our case, Robert and I forming such a voting bloc. As said, Robert and I are joining our efforts – and will consolidate our proxies. I am writing this to communicate that this is a strategy to make sure vote proxies are not wasted.

Robert and his wife first stayed at the Ilikai as visitors in 1971 and became owners in 2004. They are part of the newer, progressive generation of Ilikai owners (and so am I). They are residents of the state of Hawaii. Robert is an attorney, still in active practice. He routinely serves as an arbitrator, advising state agencies and national and local organizations. He also used to head a large federal agency and worked as a counsel to a U.S. Senate Committee, as some of his credentials.
Robert and I share the vision for the Ilikai. We need intelligent, educated, progressive and forward thinking people on our Board. It is time to break this circle of the fraternity/sorority formed by the OBC (Old Boys (and some ladies) Club) directors currently on the Board. These OBC directors-old-timers are dragging the Ilikai and all of us into the Stone Age. They claim to represent the “owners.” But in reality, they represent an OBC “fraternity/sorority” that they have formed here in our building as a way to kill time and boredom while retired.
For those of you who do not know Robert Humphreys: You may have seen him and his wife at Board meetings and around the Ilikai. He is a tall, handsome and intelligent looking gentleman, with an equally attractive wife, a wonderful couple.
Vote for me and Robert!
