Outrigger Enterprises Group recently announced the company's 2007 Chairman's Award recipient -- Chuck Shishido, vice president of OHANA® Hotels & Resorts. For the past 20 years, this distinction has been given out annually to a member of Outrigger's senior executive team as a means to recognize individuals that have distinguished themselves through exceptional contributions to the company.
"Chuck is a professional who lives 'the Outrigger way' every day. Under his leadership, the OHANA brand has established itself in a short period of time as a viable, high-performing and unique brand that delights our guests," said Dr. Richard Kelley, Outrigger Enterprises Group's chairman of the board. "Chuck is known for his quiet effectiveness and humility -- and always puts his team before himself."
Shishido, a 35-year veteran of Outrigger, was introduced to the Outrigger family by his mother, also a 20-year employee of the company. In 1972 he started working part-time at OHANA Reef Towers as a houseman and quickly moved through the ranks as a desk clerk, assistant manager, general manager of Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach and director of operations of OHANA Hotels & Resorts. Shishido was promoted to vice president of OHANA Hotels & Resorts in 2003.
Shishido also played a pivotal role during the recent launch of OHANA's "New OHANA" campaign, that features a package of complimentary amenities for guests, the most popular being free rides on the Waikiki Trolley. No other hotel in Waikiki currently offers this amenity, and the success of the program has been measured by its positive feedback, as well as the sheer number of guests who take advantage of the free services.
This year's Chairman's Award was presented by Dr. Richard Kelley during the company's annual Po'okela Awards ceremony on Monday, April 28th at the Ala Moana Hotel.
