NEBB_Brochure_2015_NEW_D.indd 1 12/8/14 9:37 AM A Message from EBB’s President

Dear NEBB Professionals, Friends and Colleagues, Barbara and I are incredibly excited to invite you to join us for the 2015 NEBB Annual Conference, to be held on April 16-18, 2015 at the world renowned Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa in , Ha- waii. We hope you are able to extend the trip with your family to have some fun – Hawaiian style. You can choose to get adventurous and explore the island or do nothing at all and relax. Sink your toes in legendary sands, hike Diamond Head, visit Pearl Harbor, snorkel in Hanauma Bay, or walk to the Honolulu Zoo or the Waikiki Aquarium. The 2015 NEBB Annual Conference theme is “A Sea of Change: A World of Opportunities.” As we celebrate NEBB’s 45th birthday, this marks the first time the NEBB Annual Conference is being held in Hawaii. Our hotel was selected with fun and flexibility in mind. Balanced between the idyllic beauty of the legendary Waikiki Beach and the dynamic city center, The Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa offers a vibrant escape that seamlessly combines relaxation, adventure and authentic Hawaiian hospitality. The guestrooms are the largest on the beach and feature private lanais with spectacular views of the city of Honolulu, the Pacific Ocean and the famous Waikiki Beach. From big to small, our location has it all! New for this year is the addition of training seminars prior to and after our conference to allow attendees the op- portunity to prepare for several of our certification exams. The conference will also provide ample opportunities for networking with NEBB leaders, NEBB professionals, HVAC product and service providers, government represen- tatives and other industry professionals. In addition to our technical and business programs, we have an outstand- ing program for guests and spouses that includes a spouse breakfast, a women’s networking session, a session facilitated by a renowned memory expert featuring skills to improve memory; deep sea fishing; golf tournament and a list of other activities that this beautiful island offers. For the deep-sea fishing enthusiasts, we are offering an all-day fishing tournament in the waters off of . The coastal shelf has a big drop off just off the island of Oahu; the water gets very deep very fast off this coastline (6,000’ +), so it’s a great place to find the big fish such as Pacific Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Skipjack Tuna. The tournament will be a team format on private sport-fishing charters – 6 persons per boat. For the Golf enthusiasts, the 18th Annual NEBB Golf Tournament will be held at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, and this will provide you with a golf experience you will never forget. Designed by Perry Dye and his famous brother Pete, the course is one of the most unusual and lush golf courses in the world, and offers unparalleled views of the mountains in a very “Jurassic Park-like” setting. We look forward to seeing you there! Aloha!

NEBB_Brochure_2015_NEW_D.indd 14 12/8/14 9:37 AM Enjoy! Oahu’s Endless Possibilities

Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fu- sion of east and west cultures rooted in the values and tra- ditions of the Native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu so enjoyable.

Today, Aloha Tower is still a docking port for Oahu’s cruise ships, with this historic place currently undergoing renova- tions. You can still enjoy an ocean-view lunch, listen to live music at night, and walk just a couple of blocks to China- town’s art district. You can also go up to the Observation Deck, located on the 10th floor of Aloha Tower to find the perfect spot for beautiful views of the harbor on one side and the cityscape of Honolulu on the other.

Home to the majority of Oahu’s population, the sprawl- ing city of Honolulu spreads throughout the southeastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, en- compassing world famous Waikiki.

Aloha Tower: Located on the Honolulu Harbor in Down- town Honolulu, about 15 minutes west of Waikiki, Aloha Tower is an iconic symbol of Hawaii. Built in September of 1926, this was the tallest building in the islands for four decades and its clock was one of the largest in the United States. The tower stood as a welcoming beacon for visi- tors since travel to Oahu was done entirely by sea. Duke Kahanamoku set his first swimming world record here at Pier 7 and the wharf was also known for Boat Days, a lively celebration to welcome the arrival of visiting ships.

Waikiki Beach: Located on the south shore of Hono- lulu, the world-famous neighborhood of Waikiki was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Known in Hawaiian as “spouting waters,” Waikiki was introduced to the world when its first hotel, the Moana Surfrider, was built on its shores in 1901. Today, Waikiki is Oahu’s main hotel and resort area and a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. Along the main strip of Kalakaua Avenue you’ll find world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, ac- tivities and resorts.

Iolani Palace: A national historic landmark and the only official state residence of royalty in the United States, Downtown Honolulu’s Iolani Palace was the official resi- dence of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s last two monarchs from 1882 to 1893: King Kalakaua and his sister and succes- sor, Queen Liliuokalani.

Duke Kahanamoku Statue: On Kuhio Beach, a bronze statue of Duke Kahanamoku welcomes you to Waikiki with open arms. Duke was a true Hawaiian hero and one of the world’s greatest watermen, a master of swimming, surfing and outrigger canoe paddling. He was born on August 24, 1890 and grew up swimming and surfing in Waikiki near the current Hilton Hawaiian Village Pearl Harbor: Named for the pearl oysters once har- Waikiki Beach Resort.
