Learn more about how Hawaii can boost its economy, especially through preparing the next generation, during a luncheon presentation Tuesday, Sept. 19, sponsored by the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii. The featured speaker will be Connor Boyack, founder and president of the Libertas Institute in Utah and creative force behind the “Tuttle Twins” books and cartoon series created to teach children about the importance of freedom. The presentation will be at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m., with the formal presentation taking place from noon to 1 p.m., including time for audience members to ask questions. Admission is $30, which includes parking, lunch and a copy of one of Boyack’s “Tuttle Twins” books. Keliʻi Akina, Institute president and CEO, will moderate. Boyack, named one of Utah’s most politically influential people by The Salt Lake Tribune, will discuss policies that his innovative think tank, the Libertas Institute, has advocated in Utah —concerning issues such as housing, permitting, licensure and digital currency — and discuss how they might work in Hawaii. His “Tuttle Twins” series features more than two dozen children’s books that teach the principles of a free society, and he is author of several other books across a wide range of topics, all of which have collectively sold more than 5 million copies.
