begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Mark Brown for service on the Board of Pharmacy.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Mark Brown from the Board of Pharmacy and three individuals.
Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Brown's experience, knowledge, and commitment to public service qualify him for appointment to the Board of Pharmacy as a licensee member from Maui county. Your Committee notes that Mr. Brown has been a licensed pharmacist in Hawaii since 1996 and has over twenty-five years of experience in pharmacology. Mr. Brown has been the pharmacy operations manager and a consultant pharmacist for PharMerica in Wailuku since 1998, where he manages long-term care pharmacies, oversees daily operations, and reviews the drug regimens of hundreds of long-term care patients. Mr. Brown is also the head pharmacist for the Hawaii Disaster Medical Assistance Team and has been deployed on numerous occasions both nationally and internationally to train and respond to natural disasters. Your Committee further finds that Mr. Brown is an active member in many community and professional organizations and previously served on the Board of Pharmacy from 2005 to 2013, including serving as Chair and Vice-Chair. Your Committee therefore recommends that Mr. Brown be appointed to the Board of Pharmacy based on his knowledge, background, and dedication to public service.
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.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
