Alicia Michioka Jones, a graduate of Kapaa High School, is the executive director of the Miss Hawaii USA and Miss Hawaii Teen USA pageants.
“It is important to me to give the girls on the Neighbor islands the opportunity to compete on a local level and advance to the state pageant,” Michioka Jones said in an email. “I did this without a preliminary and I can only imagine the success our Kauai girls will have with proper guidance and training to help them be competitive.”
Michioka Jones won the Miss Hawaii USA title in 2003 and went on to place in the Top 10 at the Miss USA pageant.
