G.M. No. 314 |
LISA ANN ASCHENBRENNER DUNN, for a term to expire 6-30-2011, |
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee, and finds Lisa Ann Aschenbrenner Dunn to have the necessary qualifications to be nominated to the Crime Victim Compensation Commission.
Your Committee received testimony in support of Lisa Ann Aschenbrenner Dunn's nomination from the Department of Public Safety, the Crime Victim Compensation Commission, and one individual.
Ms. Dunn has a Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in social development from the University of Hawaii, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Sociology from Humboldt State University.
Ms. Dunn is a project coordinator and social worker for the Hawaii and American Samoa Anti-Trafficking Services of the Salvation Army, adjunct instructor at Hawaii Pacific University, and an adjunct practicum instructor at the School of Social Work of the University of Hawaii. She is currently serving on the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision, representing victims groups; the Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence; and Partners in Care, for which she has served as interim chair of the Organizational Development Committee since December 2005. She is also currently serving her first term on the Crime Victim Compensation Commission.
Her previous work experience includes serving as a program director of Child and Family Services, director of operations of Waikiki Health Services, consultant for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, coordinator of the Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, volunteer program director of the Hawaiian Humane Society, and administrative assistant for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawaii.

Your Committee finds that given Ms. Dunn's extensive experience, training, and leadership in restorative justice, her continued service on the Crime Victim Compensation Commission would be of great benefit to the State.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
