Madam:

G.M. No. 592

ALETA KLEIN,

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 Aleta Klein to possess the requisite qualifications to be nominated to the Real Estate Commission.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Aleta Klein from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Hawaii Association of REALTORS, and eight individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Klein's background, experience, and commitment to her industry qualify her for appointment to the Real Estate Commission as a real estate broker member representing the City and County of Honolulu.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Klein has maintained a real estate broker's license since 1979 and has been the President and Principal Broker of her company, KleinCo, LLC, since 2002.  Ms. Klein is also actively involved with the Hawaii Association of REALTORS, where she has served in a variety of leadership roles and committee positions.  Your Committee further finds that Ms. Klein has served as an interim member on the Commission since July 2014 and has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of board members, and therefore recommends that Ms. Klein be appointed to the Real Estate Commission based on her knowledge, experience, and dedication to serving the public.

 

     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,
