RE: GOV. MSG. NO. 830

Madam:
Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 830, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:
State Board of Nursing
G.M. No. 830 |
KATHARYN DAUB, for a term to expire 6-30-2017, |
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by the nominee and finds Katharyn Daub to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the State Board of Nursing.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Katharyn Daub from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Hawaii Association of Professional Nurses, and four individuals.
Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Daub's background, extensive experience, and commitment to her profession qualify her for appointment to the State Board of Nursing as a licensee member. Your Committee notes that Ms. Daub has been a licensed registered nurse in Hawaii since 1986 and a nursing educator since 1996. Ms. Daub is currently a Professor of Nursing and the Director of the School of Nursing at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, where she was instrumental in the development and ongoing success of the School's Doctor of Nursing Practice Program. Ms. Daub previously served as a member of the State Board of Nursing, has been an interim member of the Board since July 2014, and was recently appointed to the Board's Education Committee. Your Committee further finds that Ms. Daub's perspective as a practicing nurse and nursing educator remains an invaluable asset to the State Board of Nursing and therefore recommends that Ms. Daub be appointed to the State Board of Nursing based on her 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,
