BROOKE FOREMAN, for a term to expire 06-30-2025, |
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Brooke Foreman for service on the Board of Acupuncture.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the nominations for the appointment and reapportionment of Brooke Foreman from the Board of Acupuncture, Wailuku Community Acupuncture, and three individuals.
Upon review of the
testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Foreman's professional
experience, background, and desire to serve her community qualify her for
appointment and reappointment to the Board of Acupuncture as a licensee member. Dr. Foreman holds a Doctorate of Acupuncture
and Chinese Medicine and has worked in the field of acupuncture for over ten
years. Dr. Foreman is the owner and
operator of Brooke Foreman Acupuncture and Wellness, LLC on Kauai and has been
a licensed acupuncturist in Hawaii since 2015.
Your Committee further notes that Dr. Foreman is an active member of other
professional and community organizations, including the Hawaii Acupuncture Association,
National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and
the American Council on Exercise, and serves as a continuing education
instructor for other practitioners. Your
Committee further finds that Dr. Foreman has served as an interim member of Board
of Acupuncture since September 2020, and her knowledge and experience continue
to enhance the effectiveness of the Board.
Your Committee therefore recommends that Dr. Foreman be appointed and
reappointed to the Board of Acupuncture based on her background, knowledge, and
desire to contribute to the community.
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,
