HONOLULU – Roger Peters, executive vice president and general manager of dck pacific construction, LLC, a dck worldwide company, has joined the board of Enterprise Honolulu. His appointment is for three years.

“As we seek to build a healthier Hawaii, it is crucial to continue to expand and connect the voices and discussions,” said Pono Shim, president and CEO of Enterprise Honolulu. “Roger brings more than a solid voice in Hawaii’s construction industry. He brings a special background in mediation and arbitration. That speaks volumes about the quality of person he is and the complement of board members we are so very fortunate to have.”
