MO MARUMOTO: NO STRANGER TO HAWAII
By
Michele Van Hessen
Since his wife Jean was a Kauai girl, the late William H. " Mo" Marumoto was a frequent visitor to Hawaii. He helped many Asians and Pacific Islanders advance their careers.
Since his appointment by President Richard Nixon to head the White House Personnel Office, Mo has been active in promoting minorities into government positions. Later as owner of a head hunter firm, he recommended many people for private sector jobs. Though Asians and other minorities were a force in small business and in corporate life, he was particularly distressed to see that they were absent from big business boards. He did his best to remedy this inequity.
Mo was a lifelong Republican. However, as President of the bi-partisan Asian-Pacific Institute of Congressional Studies, Mo nurtured dozens of locally-elected AAPI officials of all political persuasions. He introduced them to key players and role models in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Marumoto has been acquainted with Mr. Marumoto since her appointment to the President's Commission on Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders in 2001. They were not related.
