The Construction Industry of Maui is in charge of all CIM finances, handled by our board and, specifically, our treasurer. The CIM portion of the dues, any fundraisers, etc. are managed directly by CIM, in our own account.
The Construction Industry of Maui has it’s own Advisory Board and operates independently from the Chamber at all levels (for example, possible supporting different candidates). As long as we aren’t being egregious with our responsibilities we have a lot of freedom and latitude.
This partnership will last as long as it makes sense. There is no time table or commitment from either party. The Chamber is giving us an opportunity to get back on our feet, having a structure in place we can utilize to help towards that end. If we feel we need to be by ourselves as an entity, we can. We would have to go through the process of establishing our own non-profit with bylaws, etc.
