Rachael Wong Founder & Strategic Advisor
Rachael has dedicated her career to improving quality of life for others: in non-profit leadership roles at the Healthcare Association of Hawai‘i, Kōkua Mau (the state hospice & palliative care organization), and the Hawaiʻi Consortium for Integrative Care; as the director of the State of Hawai‘i Department of Human Services, where she led the creation of the state’s ʻOhana Nui multigenerational framework; and now through OSF’s professional development programs and the Safe Spaces and Workplaces Initiative that collaboratively addresses workplace sexual harassment in our state.
Rachael earned a bachelor’s degree in East Asian studies and certificate in women’s studies from Princeton University, a master’s degree in public health from UH-Manoa, and a doctorate in public health from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is grateful and excited to be working with a strengths-based team and public, private, and non-profit sector partners to catalyze positive change through collaboration and innovation.
Professional development to help organizations grow
From the first session, I immediately felt the “buzz” that I get when I am around a group of action-oriented, like-minded individuals...It is rare that we get to slow down and appreciate who we are, where we are and where we would like to be.
Victoria Hanes, PsyD
We sent 9 people from our team to take part in OSF’s Appreciating Change series. Every person expressed that the experience impacted their work—and was sometimes life-changing. We’ve seen marked changes in how these individuals engage with their teams.

Lisa Maruyama
I'm grateful for One Shared Future because it provided us the opportunity to meet new friends and colleagues who are fighting the same battles! We got to... identify ways that we can move together toward better serving our brothers and sisters across the state.
