Clyde William Namu‘o is the executive director of the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission. He is also the chief executive officer of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, a Hawai’i nonprofit organization established in 1973 “to perpetuate the art and science of traditional Polynesian voyaging through experiential educational programs that inspire students and their communities to respect and care for themselves, each other, and their natural and cultural environment.” From 2001 to 2011, he served as chief executive officer of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Before this, Namu’o was the deputy administrative director of the courts, State of Hawaii. He serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations, including Family Promise of Hawai‘i and the Kukui Children’s Foundation.
