Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 5 <br />November 20, 2008 <br />Honorary Diplomas <br />Mr. Highley announced that he received applications for veterans who may qualify to <br />receive honorary diplomas from the Department of Education. (Contact DOE Military <br />Liaison Cherise Imai at 808 - 271 -5724 for additional information ). <br />MEMBERSHIP UPDATE <br />Mr. Highley's Term Expires - December 31, 2008 <br />Mr. Highley said his term as an Independent member on this committee expires at the end <br />of the year and he does not want to make a commitment to continue at this time. He <br />suggested the slot be filled by someone on the east side since the attention for the last five <br />(5) years has been on the West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery and improvements there. The <br />attention has been very successful and East Hawaii would benefit from a representative <br />from that side. <br />Chairwoman Fox recommends keeping that independent slot for the west side since there <br />already are a number of members from the east side. She asked Mr. Leone if he was <br />interested in applying since he has been attending the meetings and he declined. <br />NEXT MEETING <br />The next meeting will be held in February 2009, meeting announcement will be mailed <br />when meeting is confirmed. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Meeting adjourned at 3:37 pm. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nathalie Santos, Secretary <br />
