Generations Hawaii Magazine Mission Statement

Generations Hawaii is your companion and guide to living The Good Life After 50. Fun, joyous, exciting, rewarding-life after 50 can be every bit the adventure it was in your youth. The goal of Generations Hawaii: The Good Life After 50 is to provide you with the information and resources you need to live life to the fullest in our beautiful island state.

Health, finance and technology are among the topics that will be discussed in regular columns. In addition, we'll address current issues that concern you; share tips about services, programs and facilities that can ease and enhance your life; and profile movers and shakers who've helped build and improve our community.

Our Company

Founded in 1954, Trade Publishing (www.tradepublishing.com) is Hawaii's leading provider of publications serving the construction, hotel, property management and retail food industries. Generations Hawaii is Trade's second consumer magazine (the other, Pacific Paddler, was launched in 1996).

Our Team

In 2002, Art Director Susan Whitney moved to "paradise" from Dallas, Texas, where she had worked as a graphic designer and art director for the American Heart Association National Center In-House Design Agency for almost 20 years.

Ursula Silva, graphic designer, has been with Trade Publishing for 4 years and is responsible for the eye-catching look of Generations Hawaii Magazine. Ursula has been awarded several Pa'i awards in design for Maui Wedding Planner, a Trade publication.

Our Vision

We hope Generations Hawaii will inform, instruct, motivate and entertain you. It will be an enlightening, exciting journey, and we're looking forward to having you there with us.
