HCCNC was officially organized as a California mutual benefit nonprofit corporation that was formed as a result of several discussions and meetings among the three founders, all originally from Hawaii and now living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. The founders realized that a unique synergy existed among all their acquaintances who either were from Hawaii and living in the mainland or spent time in Hawaii and were familiar with the Hawaiian way which consists of a blend of trust, good humor and a genuine desire to help one another.

This, they realized, was a business intangible that is normally only developed after months - maybe years of doing business with a person or a group. This, they also realized, was a valuable commodity among their acquaintances and those in a similar situation that should be identified, organized and focused to generate value.

Three major groups have been initially identified as those that can gain value from the HCCNC:

1. people involved in commerce or business originally from Hawaii and now living in the Bay Area
2. people doing business with Hawaii from the Bay Area
3. businesses in Hawaii with an interest in the Bay Area.

HCCNC is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to bringing the most value to these three major groups. All the time and labor is purely voluntary, a true display the Aloha Spirit is thriving in the Bay Area!
