4. Mentoring <br />No report. <br />5. Hawaii County Women’s Hall of Fame <br />N. Kelly reported that the selection criteria will be revised. She asked CSW <br />members to provide any suggestions to her. C. Kitaoka said it was good that <br />CSW spread the awards around, but she didn’t think that CSW should do it <br />because the committee needs an individual from a particular area. CSW <br />members agreed and suggested that the committee does not have to honor six <br />women. C. Ka-ipo said another suggestion is to have more publicity earlier in <br />order to receive more nominations. <br />Since next year will be the fifth year, C. Kitaoka suggested that the Hilton <br />Waikoloa Village, Water’s Edge Ballroom will be the venue again and then move <br />the location the following year. D. Pung said that it was also suggested that <br />CSW honor J. Moon for the fifth year with the program. C. Kitaoka suggested <br />having centerpieces with light bulbs and inviting her husband and son to attend. <br />C. Kitaoka offered to reserve the Water’s Edge Ballroom and C. Ka-ipo agreed to <br />secure the entertainment. <br />CSW decided on two possible dates for the Women’s Hall of Fame: Saturday, <br />September 20, 2008 or Saturday, September 27, 2008. <br />6. Equal Pay <br />S. Ferguson-Quick shared information about the Hawaii Coalition for Women’s <br />Wage Equality, a statewide coalition of dynamic organizations and individuals <br />committed to achieving pay equity for women of Hawaii. <br />C. Ka-ipo moved to support pay equity and that CSW join the Hawaii Coalition for <br />Women’s Wage Equality. A. Mejia seconded the motion. The motion was <br />passed. <br />B. Health <br />1. Women’s Health Month <br />E. Cabatu reported that she received support from her employer to chair a Health <br />Fair for the Hilo Medical Center in conjunction with other organizations. One of <br />her sponsors that she enjoys having is Meadow Gold because they provide <br />refreshments and they bring Lani Moo. However, Meadow Gold has two events <br />already planned for the month of September. Therefore, she needs to secure a <br />date and a location. The health fair will be a wellness model which may include <br />healing touch, yoga, teen sexual health, etc. In addition, she had a successful <br />health fair at the Hilo Shopping Center with over 300 people in attendance in <br />November. <br />3 <br /> <br />
