The Filipino Community Center welcomes Kylie Arrell as its new executive director. She will replace veteran Donnie Juan who is leaving to focus on his new endeavor.

Arrell, who is part-Filipino ancestry, has years of experience in the business development and non-profit industry. She has been involved in several organizations such as the Hawaii International Polo Association, St. Francis Healthcare Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House Hawaii.

As the new FilCom executive director, Arrell will bring her enthusiasm and heart for the community to share the Filipino culture and FilCom center with Hawaii\u2019s community at large. She will be working closely with the organization\u2019s Board of Directors to ensure FilCom continues to adapt and serve the Filipino community in Hawaii.

\u201cI am honored by the board\u2019s confidence in selecting me for this leadership position,\u201d said Arrell in a press relase.

\u201cFilCom is an amazing organization dedicated to promoting and perpetuating the Filipino culture and customs throughout the State of Hawaii. I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead such an organization alongside the founders and dedicated individuals who have built FilCom to be the center for the community. I hope to contribute to that legacy as we push through the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and step into the future together.\u201d

FilCom chairman of the board Edmund Aczon anticipates great things from the new executive director.

\u201cKylie will bring new ideas, fresh perspectives, and a burst of energy to the job as we prepare to welcome the community back and restart the programs, activities and businesses that bring life to the center every day,\u201d said Aczon.

Arrell received her business degree at the University of Hawaii at West Oahu and her Master\u2019s in Business Administration degree from the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
