NEWS & EVENTS
TOWN HALL MEETING
We brought together the entire company for a town hall-
style meeting to recap 2018, outline goals for 2019, and
to announce major initiatives within the organization.
In an effort to keep everything transparent, we opened
up a live Q&A session to give staff a chance to freely ask
the executive management team any questions that were
on their minds. This kind of town hall-style meeting is
a critical element in keeping an open dialogue between
management and staff.
WHAT’S GOING ON AT
ATLAS
THANKSGIVING PIES
2018 HOLIDAY PARTY
Every year, the Office Activities Committee is happy to
carry on the annual tradition of distributing Zippy’s
pies to staff, agents, and their families to enjoy for the
Thanksgiving Holiday! It’s always a tough decision
between pumpkin, custard, and apple—they are all perfect
endings to any Thanksgiving meal. However, custard was
this year’s clear winner and easily outnumbered the orders
for pumpkin and apple combined.
Atlas brought everyone back to the
glitz and glamour of Winter Prom!
The Winter Wonderland theme was
a great hit, and many arrived in their
finest prom attire—gorgeous gowns,
dashing suits, corsages, boutonnieres,
and sparkling tiaras. Our very own
Vince Miyoi (the “Vincemaster”) was the
MC, and DJ Tom took us back in time to
the 70s and 80s with old-school prom
jams. The day was truly full of holiday
spirit—with laughter, good fun, and
quality time spent with our coworkers
and friends.
EPIC NETWORKING PANEL
At the end of 2018, EPIC—our emerging professional
development group—hosted a networking panel
discussion for all of its members. The discussion touched
upon the necessary steps to take before attending a
networking event and some helpful tips on how to make
the most of a networking event. Speakers included the
following: Chason Ishii, Atlas president; Corina Hill,
Atlas senior sales account manager; Caron Ling, real
estate advisor with Engel & Völkers; and John Strandberg,
general manager of Hawaii Tech Support.
NEW-HIRE LUNCH
We had our annual new-hire lunch for all of our
employees that joined the Atlas Ohana in 2018.
We firmly believe in these new-hire lunches as it is
the perfect opportunity for the new-hires and the
management team to get together and talk story
outside of the office. They are always filled with a ton
of laughs and great food!
IH COMPANY TOUR
In conjunction with the Island Holdings (IH) family of companies, we held a joint company
tour for two Shidler College of Business clubs—the BEST UHM and the Financial
Management Association at UH Manoa. Both groups rotated through each company’s office
and received brief overviews about the company from either the company’s president or a
senior management representative. Then, the event was capped off with a mixer for the
students where they were able to personally ask representatives from each company about
their career experiences.
