Set forth by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Business Registration and Insurance Divisions, in conjunction with the Hawai‘i Credit Union League, these organizers promise a unique blend of education and entertainment, a potion brewed to endow these students with the savvy needed in the consumer market maze.
