RE:    GOV. MSG. NO. 842

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 842, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Hawai'i Commission for National and Community Service

 

G.M. No. 842

NADINE NISHIOKA,

for a term to expire 06-30-2021,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Nadine Nishioka for service on the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the reappointment of Nadine Nishioka from one member of the Senate, one member of the House of Representatives, one member of the Honolulu City Council, Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service, and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Nishioka's background and dedication to serving the public qualify her to be reappointed to the Board of Directors of the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Nishioka has been Executive Director of the Moiliili Community Center since 2013 and has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including her present service as Chair of the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service.  Your Committee finds that Ms. Nishioka has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of Commission members and her extensive experience in nonprofit administration will continue to enhance the effectiveness of the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. Nishioka be reappointed to the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service based on her knowledge, background, and dedication to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education 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.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education,
