Previously, Ms. Reimann was the director of housing and human concerns for the County of Maui. Your Committee finds that Ms. Reimann has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members and her extensive experience in housing will continue to enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation. Your Committee therefore recommends that Carol Reimann be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation based on her knowledge, background, and dedication to public service.
GARY MACKLER

Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Mackler's experience, knowledge, and proven leadership on the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation qualify him for reappointment to the Board as the Kauai County representative. Your Committee notes that Mr. Mackler has twenty-four years of experience in affordable housing development, and he has worked as a housing development coordinator for the County of Kauai Housing Agency. Your Committee further notes that Mr. Mackler has served as an interim member of the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development and has a thorough understanding of the roles and responsibilities of its members. Mr. Mackler's experience and knowledge will continue to be assets to the Board of Directors of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that are attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominees, has found the nominees to be qualified for the positions to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nominations.
