President Candidates
Ben Barinotto
Hey AC, it’s Ben!
I am excited and honored to announce that I am running to be your President for the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 school year!
For those of you who don’t know, I am from Salt Lake City, Utah! So joining AC has truly been such an important part of my college experience as it is the reason I decided to stay at UHM for the rest of my undergrad. I have met so many great friends and have elevated my professional network so much because of it.
Having been your Director of Internal Affairs last semester, I got to work with an amazing board to put together fundraisers that helped support all of our events and activities. Getting to meet everyone and seeing how much of a difference we could make together really motivated me to work even harder. It was then that I realized how important every individual in the club is to each other, board member or not. So thank you for teaching me that 🙂
I am running for President because I want to continue being a part of something that means so much to me and hopefully keep inspiring and supporting others the way AC did for me. I believe that enhancing and evolving a club requires strong, thoughtful leaders, and I will do my best to be that kind of leader for all of you. I promise to always give my best to serve this club, support each of you, and help us continue building something we are all proud of. :)
Mahalo,

Hi AC!
It’s Caylina, and I’m excited to announce that I’m running for your Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 President!
After serving as your Director of Internal Affairs, I’ve found myself wanting to continue giving back to the club, just in a different way. This past semester has been incredibly meaningful to me, and I’ve really enjoyed being involved, getting to know everyone, and helping create memorable experiences for our members. What continues to stand out to me the most is how welcoming and supportive everyone in AC is, and it truly makes the club so special.
Through my time on board, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of what it takes to keep our club running successfully. From planning events to working with our outstanding board, I’ve seen how much effort, communication, and teamwork go into providing a positive experience for our members. This role has motivated me to take on a larger responsibility and help guide the club moving forward.
I’m running for President because I want to continue building on the strong foundation our club has created while also finding new ways to help our members feel more connected and involved. I would love the opportunity to support our future board members and continue connecting with all of you. AC has given me so much, and I hope to give back by helping lead and strengthen the same community that made such an impact on me.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Caylina
