Lt. Governor Aiona helped honor the state's top employees during the Administration's annual awards ceremony at the State Capitol.
Lt. Governor Aiona meets with state employees who were recognized for their outstanding service.

Also, the Department of Transportation’s Airports Division Photovoltaic Engineering Team was named the State Team of the Year.
“These awards recognize that state government is about more than departments, divisions, branches or buildings,” Lt. Governor Aiona said. “State government in Hawai‘i is also about people who are doing what they can to better serve their fellow citizens.”
