G.M. No. 556

JODI ANN NAKAOKA,

for a term to expire 06-30-2022,

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Jodi Ann Nakaoka for service on the Radiologic Technology Board.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Jodi Ann Nakaoka from the Department of Health and one individual.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to the nomination for the appointment of Jodi Ann Nakaoka from one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Nakaoka's experience, background, and commitment to public service qualify her for appointment to the Radiologic Technology Board as a member engaged in the practice of radiology.  Your Committee notes that Ms. Nakaoka is currently a radiographer, mammographer, and the Chief Technologist at Hawaii Diagnostic Radiology Services.  Ms. Nakaoka is also a member of a number of professional organizations and has previously served two terms on the Radiologic Technology Board, including serving as Chair for six years.  Your Committee further notes that Ms. Nakaoka has served as an interim member of the Radiologic Technology Board since August 2019 and has a thorough understanding of the roles and responsibilities of its members.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Ms. Nakaoka be appointed to the Radiologic Technology Board based on her knowledge, experience, and commitment to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health 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, Consumer Protection, and Health,
