Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Higher Education, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 843, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of: 

 

Hawai'i Commission for National and Community Service

 

G.M. No. 843

PERRY ARRASMITH,

for a term to expire 06-30-2023,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

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

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Perry Arrasmith from the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service and three individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Arrasmith's background and dedication to serving the public qualify him to be appointed to the Hawaii Commission for National and Community Service.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Arrasmith has experience in volunteerism, civic education, and public policy at Aiea High School and Harvard University.  He will represent youth between the ages of sixteen and twenty‑five.  His thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of Commission members and his experience in volunteerism, civic education, and public policy will enhance the effectiveness of the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Arrasmith be appointed as Commissioner of the Hawai‘i Commission for National and Community Service based on his 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,
