Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred Governor's Message No. 859, submitting for study and consideration the nomination of:

G.M. No. 859

GERALDINE GIFFIN,

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 Geraldine Giffin for service on the Board of Registration of the Island of Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Geraldine Giffin from one individual.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Ms. Giffin's experience as an educator, background, and commitment to public service qualify her for appointment to the Board of Registration of the Island of Hawaii.  Ms. Giffin worked as a teacher for twenty-six years, primarily teaching the elementary thru middle school gifted and talented English program at Waimea Elementary and Intermediate School.  Your Committee further finds that Ms. Giffin has a history of service on numerous state and county boards and commissions, including the Hawaii County Commission on the Status of Women, Hawaii State Library Commission, and the Hawaii County Planning Commission.  Testimony submitted in support of the appointment of Ms. Giffin praised her leadership and organizational abilities in previous positions of public service.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Geraldine Giffin be appointed to the Board of Registration of the Island of Hawaii based on her experience, leadership skills, and dedication to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary 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 Judiciary,
