Newland reported that she picked up a proclamation from the Mayor€s Office <br />declaring November as DomesticHarmony Awareness Month and Domestic <br />Harmony Awareness Day on November 11. Last night, she attended the Governor€s <br />Advisory Council for East Hawaii and she was able to share a green ribbon which <br />represents Domestic Harmony Awareness Month and also tie it in with Gentle Birth. <br />She was also able to start a program in England this past summer. <br />D. Noda mentioned that next week the BigIsland Coalition Against Physical and <br />Sexual Abuse are recognizing the SANE Nurses since it€s their tenth anniversary. <br />The numbers of nurses who are willing to do it are dwindling due to burn out, <br />recruitment, and interest. <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />A. Resignations and appointments <br />D. Pung read the resignation e-mail from M. Masunaga. <br />D. Noda clarified that M. Masunaga€s position on the HSCSW is an appointed <br />position by the Governor. M. Masunaga is still on the committee, but as a non- <br />voting member until her term expires on the state commission. Her interpretation of <br />the committee€s bylaws states there are nine voting members plus the two ex- <br />officios, the Corporation Counsel and the state representative. The statute requires <br />a wide diversity and representation as possible. The whole situation came up in a <br />weird format because HSCSW was not funded for a while. M. Masunaga could also <br />re-apply to serve on the HSCSW, but the Governor needs to make a decision <br />whethershewouldreappointM.MasunagaorappointsomeoneelsetobeCSW€s <br />representative. M. Masunaga could also be appointed by the Mayor and become a <br />votingmemberonCSW. <br />K.PeterssaidthatM.MasunagarecommendedKatieNovaasherreplacementfrom <br />Kona. She has known K.
