     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Alexander Choi from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Choi's background, experience, and desire to serve the community qualify him for reappointment to the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology as a public member.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Choi is the owner of Salon Bobbi and Guy, a full-service beauty salon with multiple locations on Oahu, and the owner of a wholesale beauty supply distributorship.  Mr. Choi has served on the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology since July 2011, and his working knowledge of the beauty industry has enabled him to contribute a valuable perspective to the Board.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Choi is fully qualified to advocate for the public interest as a public member of the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and recommends Mr. Choi's reappointment to the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology based on his background and continuing commitment to advocate for public consumers of barbering and cosmetology services.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection 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.
