comes from the good work the committee is doing and that the committee <br />is benefiting large numbers of people. Whatever activities the committee <br />does should help to preserve their integrity and that they are good <br />stewards of money. <br />D. Pung asked if CSW wanted to do this exclusive select group or open it <br />up to other groups. K. Peters said that in the past there have been <br />funding from other sources. However, at this time it looks like CSW is <br />funding a closed group of people and their mothers. <br />K. Nova expressed concerns about the cost of the dinner. She doesn’t <br />mind supporting a program like this, but it doesn’t tell her about the point <br />of the dinner. She doesn’t know what will be discussed, who is going to <br />be there, why the dinner cost $102 for the girls and their mothers, how is <br />CSW going to know if the event is a success or not, and what is the topic <br />that night and who is going to do it. <br />J. Mecklenburg stated that there might be a problem with CSW spending <br />money on this program. She will need to do research and report back to <br />the committee via email to J. Viernes. This issue has been deferred until <br />legal advice is received from J. Mecklenburg. Therefore, CSW need to <br />vote at the next meeting. <br />D. Pung will inform M. Masunaga of CSW’s decision at this time. K. Nova <br />suggested that M. Masunaga provide CSW with more information if <br />J. Mecklenburg decides that the committee can vote on it. <br />5. Hawaii County Women’s Hall of Fame <br />N. Kelly reported that she, K. Nova, and K. Peters will meet after the <br />meeting to review the selection criteria and CSW can approve them at the <br />next meeting. A nomination form will also be drafted. She would like to <br />target the publicity in June and E. Cabatu has offered to help. <br />D. Pung stated that she got the koa bases. K. Peters said she went to <br />Ross’ twice, but there were no crystal vases yet. <br />K. Peters stated that publicity is an integral part that is missing. She felt <br />that CSW needs to raise the level of what the committee has been doing. <br />Perhaps a paid ad should be done instead of a press release. <br />6. Equal Pay <br />E. Cabatu reported that the HSCSW is partnering with different <br />organizations in the community to help raise awareness of pay equity and <br />economic self-sufficiency issues for women.
