HONOLULU – The University of Hawai‘i Foundation and the University of Hawai‘i Alumni Association (UHAA) are pleased to announce that Janet Yoshida Bullard has been promoted to vice president of marketing and communications - alumni and donor relations for the UH Foundation. In this new leadership position Bullard will manage the alumni and donor relations teams, communications and marketing group, and the annual giving and e-communications teams. She joined the foundation in 2008 as the associate vice president of alumni relations at the UH Foundation and executive director of UHAA.
