     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the reappointment of Judy Fomin from the State Health Planning and Development Agency. 

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Fomin's experience working with victims of domestic violence, commitment to public service, and dedication to the health and wellness of the community qualify her for reappointment to the Health Planning Council, Windward Oahu Subarea.  Ms. Fomin worked in the field of domestic violence for several years, first as a volunteer with the San Mateo Battered Women's Center, then as the Shelter Director where she established criteria for employees, volunteers, and residents of the shelter.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Fomin has been an active member of the community, serving as Vice President and then President of the Sunset Beach Community Association.  Ms. Fomin earned her Master of Science degree in psychology from John F. Kennedy University.

 

     Your Committee notes that Ms. Fomin currently serves on the Health Planning Council, Windward Oahu Subarea and therefore is familiar with its work.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. Fomin be reappointed to the Health Planning Council, Windward Oahu Subarea based on her experience working with victims of domestic violence and commitment to the health and wellness of the community.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that are 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 Health,
