The Mo'ili'ili Resident Managers' Association (MRMA) was founded by 3 Resident Managers in the Mo'ili'ili neighborhood of Honolulu in March of 1999.

Starting with only these three, the Association grew quickly to now include building managers throughout the Island of Oahu. When the Association's continued growth moved beyond Mo'ili'ili, it was considered, at one point, to change the name to the Oahu Resident Managers' Association, but the founders came to the conclusion that its "roots" were in the Mo'ili'ili area and the name should remain. MRMA is open to all Building Managers in Hawaii, and MRMA continues to enjoy steady growth throughout the community and will reflect that growth on this web site.

The MRMA luncheon meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month, January through November, at Sam Snead's Tavern and Restaurant in the Navy-Marine Club House, 943 Valkenburgh St., Honolulu. The meetings begin at 11:45 AM. Attendees and guests should contact Ben Merritt at merbizgrp@yahoo.com for information regarding seating and availability.

MRMA is run entirely by committees and concentrates on Residential Management, keeping in touch with our 'Community Spirit' through which we continually evolve. The organization's slogan is Honesty/Integrity/Dedication to Residential Management.
