For the past several years, Ms. Hellrung has chaired the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, and will also serve as co-chair for a team that is working diligently to establish an animal shelter on Lana‘i. Ms. Hellrung is a compassionate member of society and continues to build and foster strong relationships in the community, making her an important addition to the Board of Directors of the Hawai‘i Health Systems Corporation.
Your Committee received testimony in support of Francis L. Jung from Hawai‘i Health Systems Corporation, Chair of the Hawai‘i State Commission on the Status of Women, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager of First Hawaiian Bank, Kealakekua Branch, and two individuals.
