     Your Committee has reviewed the personal histories, resumes, and statements submitted by Kathleen Moniz and Brendon Lee to serve on the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission.

 

KATHLEEN MONIZ

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Kathleen Moniz from the Department of Accounting and General Services, King Kamehameha Celebration Commission, and two individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Moniz's expertise and experience qualify her to be nominated for appointment to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission.  Your Committee notes that Dr. Moniz has previously served as a member of the Commission.  Section 8-5(a)(4), Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission to have at least one member from the Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian Warriors.  Dr. Moniz is a member and treasurer of the Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian Warriors and her appointment to the Commission will fulfil the statutory requirement for representation from that organization.  Your Committee finds that Dr. Moniz's experience and commitment to the community will be great assets to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission.

 

BRENDON K. LEE

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment and reappointment of Brendon K. Lee from the Department of Accounting and General Services, King Kamehameha Celebration Commission, and one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Lee's experience and history of community involvement qualify him to be nominated for appointment and reappointment to the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Lee possesses considerable experience in administrative and management positions.  Section 8-5(a)(5), Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission to have at least one member from the Kamehameha Schools Alumni Association.  Mr. Lee is a member of the Kamehameha Schools Alumni Association, and his appointment and reappointment to the Commission will fulfil the statutory requirement for representation from that organization.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominees, has found the nominees to be qualified for the positions to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nominations.

 


Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
