About WUB
"Worldwide Uchinanchu Business Association–International grew out of a conference held in Honolulu, Hawaii on September 1-3, 1997, with delegates attending from Okinawa, USA, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Philippines and Japan.
WUB International’s multi-lingual format (English, Japanese, Portugese and Spanish) makes it possible for Uchinanchu businesspeople to contact each other easily. It is hoped that this will lead to the exchange of goods andservices among members.
WUB Hawaii meets in Honolulu monthly. The meetings are often attended by visiting members of other WUB chapters. Guest speakers from local businesses and city and state government are invited to share their insights on a variety of issues."
