Hara reported that upcoming expenses would be the essay contest and travel to <br />Oahu. Allicyn Hikida Tasaka, Executive Director of the Hawaii State Commission on the <br />Status of Women (HSCSW), has returned and she has requested that a committee <br />representative attend the commission meetings. <br />C. Hara explained CSW's fiscal policy for the new committee members. CSW will <br />discuss items that cost the committee money which normally involves a ceiling on a <br />dollar amount. The committee is frugal with their budget so they try to get <br />items/services donated versus purchasing services. All these issues need to be <br />discussed at the committee meetings. If there is something that can be done in-house, <br />it is to be done in-house. Approval for in-house work goes to her as chair and then <br />approval from J. Viernes as office staff. If a CSW member is planning to do basically <br />the same project the year before and the expenses are not going to exceed that <br />amount, then it is usually accepted by the committee. However, if changes are made <br /> <br />
