Laureen Naumu-Balocan, Co- Founder

  With over 42 years of experience in the Hospitality and Destination Management Industries, I bring a deep level of knowledge and commitment to my clients, hotel partners, and vendors. Having grown up in Kauai, my love for the islands is a key part of my success and is evident in everything I do. I firmly believe that attention to detail is critical in providing excellent customer service. It's not just about following instructions, but also about anticipating needs before they arise.  

My Motto:  “Listen, live, and work together with people of different backgrounds." 

Words to Live By:  “Each and every simple thing done throughout the day with absolute excitement, brings amazing results at the end of the day.”

  What is Aloha? It is so much more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. ''Aloha'' means mutual regard and respect, extending warmth in caring with no obligation in return. "Aloha" is the essence of relationships in which each person is important. 

The character, personalities of charm, warmth, and sincerity are inherent in Hawaii's people. The team of island experts at E Hawaii invite you to come and sense the energy and magic that is Aloha first hand.

  I am passionate about program design and have a creative instinct. I am committed to quick follow-up and pay extreme attention to detail when working with clients. These attributes come from my 33 years of experience in Program Operations, Sales, and Event/Program Design within the Hawaiian Destination Management industry. I have solid and successful vendor relationships throughout the state, providing our customers with a deep network of locally sourced décor and entertainment. After residing in Hawaii for many years, I now live in Washington State, providing our customers with access to Hawaii hours before paradise opens!
