Girl Scouts of Hawaii Women of Distinction Dinner

Lori Lum has been the Director of the Government Relations & Public Affairs Group at Watanabe Ing for 18 years, providing strategic counseling and government affairs services for clients on public policy issues involving county councils, the State Legislature and congress. Ms. Lum is a former hospitality industry executive and engages in extensive community relations work.

Lori’s dedication over the years to Girl Scouts of Hawai’i will be recognized with the highest volunteer honor that Girl Scouts nationwide bestow on an individual volunteer-The Thanks Badge. This pin honors an individual whose ongoing commitment, leadership, and service have had an exceptional, measurable impact on meeting the mission-delivery goals and priorities of the entire council or the entire Girl Scout movement. She has worked diligently to assist Girl Scouts for more than ten years.

Lori is the immediate past chair of the Board of Directors of the Girl Scouts of Hawai’i  and also serves on the boards of Child and Family Service Hawai’i’s largest non-profit human service organization and R.E.A.C.H. Out Hawaii, which provides afterschool programs for public middle and intermediate school students.

From 2000 to 2006, she chaired the Board of Hawai’i Community Development Authority (HCDA) an agency created by the 1976 Hawai’i State Legislature to plan and revitalize urban areas in the State which lawmakers found to be in need of timely redevelopment. Ms. Lum also served on the Board of Directors of the Hawai’I Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International, Aloha Festivals and Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai’i.
