G.M. No. 618

ROBYN JUMAWAN, for a term to expire 06-30-2026,

begs leave to report as follows:

Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Robyn Jumawan for service on the State Boxing Commission of Hawaii.

Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Robyn Jumawan from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs; USA Boxing, Hawaii Association; and four individuals. Your Committee received testimony in opposition of the nomination for the appointment of Robyn Jumawan from one individual. Your Committee notes that the testimony submitted in opposition to this nominee contained no substantive information or commentary relating to her appointment.

Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Jumawan's experience, background, and commitment to public service qualify her for appointment to the State Boxing Commission as a USA Boxing, Inc. member. Your Committee notes that Ms. Jumawan has worked in various roles in the sport of boxing for over fifteen years. Ms. Jumawan is currently the Vice President and Marketing Specialist of PearlSide Boxing, Inc., where she markets boxing programs to the public and serves as supervisor at USA Boxing sanctioned events. During the course of Ms. Jumawan's career, she has gained broad experience and knowledge about the sport of boxing, having served as a USA Boxing member, judge, coach, and Vice President and Chief of Officials for USA Boxing Hawaii. In 2018, Ms. Jumawan was nationally ranked by USA Boxing as the number ten Level 3 official in charge. Ms. Jumawan is currently the State Registration Chair for the United States Amateur Boxing Association and assists the Boxing Commission in promoting amateur boxing across the state. Your Committee finds that Ms. Jumawan has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of commission members and her extensive experience in the sport of boxing will continue to enhance the effectiveness of the State Boxing Commission of Hawaii. Your Committee therefore recommends that Robyn Jumawan be appointed to the State Boxing Commission of Hawaii based on her knowledge, experience, and commitment 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,
