Murray will be providing a presentation on October 18 <br />and 19 in Hilo and Kona. CSW targeted October since October is Domestic <br />Violence Awareness Month. Dr. J. Murray’s fees are approximately $3,500/day plus <br />travel expenses which will cost up to a total of $20,000. CSW plan to partner with <br />other agencies so funding will not be limited to the schools. Other funding sources <br />will allow women in general to attend. <br />B. Ford suggested that CSW send a cover letter showing the breakdown of <br />expenses for Dr. J. Murray and she will try to see how she can provide funding <br />support. She also suggested that CSW approach council member Emily Naeole for <br />financial support. <br />N. Kelly moved that CSW commit the remaining funds available in the committee’s <br />budget to procure Dr. J. Murray’s services for the Teen Dating Violence Conference <br />in October 2007. A. Mejia seconded the motion. The motion was passed. <br />3 <br /> <br />
