HONOLULU — Hawaii State Federal Credit Union (Hawaii State FCU) today announced that John Katahira, president and majority owner of The Limtiaco Consulting Group, has been elected to serve on its board of directors. Katahira will serve a three-year term, effective March 2022, along with Marion Higa who has been re-elected for her third consecutive term.

“This is a pivotal time for Hawaii State FCU as we work towards the completion of our new headquarters, continue to grow with the opening of new in-store branches at Safeway stores on Oahu and Maui, and so much more. We would not be able to accomplish any of this without the support and commitment from our board of directors who truly believe in our mission,” said Andrew Rosen, president and CEO of Hawaii State FCU. “Congratulations to both Marion and John. I am confident they will continue to put our members’ best interests first.”

A member of Hawaii State FCU for nearly 30 years, Katahira brings to the board more than 20 years of experience in financial management, human resource management, business development and information technology as the president and majority owner of The Limtiaco Consulting Group. Katahira received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Civil Engineering, and his master’s in business administration from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He has also served as a board member for the Boys and Girls Club of Hawaii and the American Council of Engineering Companies of Hawaii.

Marion Higa has served on the Hawaii State FCU Board of Directors since 2016. A member of the credit union for more than 40 years, Higa served as state auditor for the State of Hawaii for 21 years before retiring in 2012.

The seven-member Board of Directors serve on a voluntary basis and work to ensure the success and prosperity of the not-for-profit financial cooperative and its members.
