Hall of Honor Award Recipients
A New Direction...
In 2022, the United Chinese Society of Hawaii Board of Trustees voted to change its annual recognition to the Hall of Honor Award. With that decision, UCS discontinued both Model Chinese Mother and Father of the Year and Model Chinese Citizen of the Year Awards. We will always remember and honor the recipients of both prestigious awards.
