Are you ready for a little Aloha in 2022? |
We need your input! COVID has had a significant impact on our colleagues in Hawaii's hospitality and food industries. In an effort to do our part to help out we are studying the idea of making our Hawaii Credit Forum a 2 1/2 day seminar open to all. This would be a great education and networking event for members and customers. A number of speakers have already expressed serious interest in joining us and we have some great hotel rates available.
Now we need to know if YOU are interested in attending? Please fill out this short survey to help us gauge the interest level!

PARTNERS IN CREDIT REPORTING |
|
|
|
A typical Credit Department structure begins with one person creating processes while utilizing available technology until the need arises to add team members to assist in managing the receivables. The challenge for Credit Managers is in knowing which processes, technologies, and team members will give them the right combination to best manage the receivables while minimizing costs.
In this session you will learn:
- How the type of trade receivables portfolio drives the structure of the department
- The role of process improvement in Credit Department structures
- Automation necessities in Credit Management
- Matching skill sets to your portfolio
- The art of when and how to add appropriate team members to a Credit Department.

National Hamburger Day - May 28th |
Did you know, hamburgers did not really catch on in the United States until the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Since then, the delicious burger can be found in any town, anywhere in the United States...but not all burgers are made equal.
In honor of National Hamburger Day, we found the best burgers in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. Next time you are in the neighborhood, check out one of these local joints and let us know what you think!

Red Mill Burgers, Seattle, WA
Owners John and Babe Shepherd named the Red Mill in honor of their two late sisters, Kathleen and Monica Shepherd, both of whom worked at the original Red Mill as waitresses and would bring home french fries and other goodies for their younger siblings including Michael and Mark Shepherd. This classic Seattle burger joint is celebrating 25 years in business!
Arctic Road Runner, Anchorage, AK
Often voted as having the best cheeseburgers in Anchorage, Arctic Roadrunner has been an Alaska tradition for decades. For an Alaskan twist on the classic burger, try one made with a wild salmon patty instead of beef.
Annie's Island Fresh Burgers, Kealakekua, HI
Annie’s burgers are huge, juicy, inventive, and amazing… and the fries are absolutely killer as well. This unassuming spot in sleepy Kainaliu is truly one of the best spots on the entire island for an organic, grass-fed burger. Toppers include avocado, barbecue sauce, maple caramelized onions, lime-cilantro coleslaw, and different types of melted cheeses. There is also plenty of fish, chicken, and vegetarian “burger” options for those who aren’t into beef.

While that’s a drop in the bucket for Warren Buffett, the folksy businessman knows that amount of money can make a huge difference for the average American household. While he has some helpful advice on how to lower your tax bill, his expertise also extends to how you should spend your refund.

Alaska Airlines Shows Off Plane With New Paint Job Highlighting Diversity And Inclusion |
An airline’s livery is the core of its brand identity, with colors and icons that define a carrier’s image for years, or even decades – such as Qantas’s kangaroo, Lufthansa’s crane, or the oryx that graces the tails of Qatar Airways’ jets. Today, Alaska Airlines plotted a route toward more inclusivity with the reveal of a specially painted plane that highlights diversity, equity, and education.
