Arts from the University of Hawaii-Kauai Community College.
Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr.
Pananganan be appointed to the Health Planning Council, Kauai Subarea based on his
experience working in emergency services and commitment to the health and
wellness of the community.
As affirmed by the
records of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that are 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
