<br />Mele suggested that if there’s leftover from last year’s conference and if we don’t plan <br />any conferences this year, we may be able to shift it to another account. <br /> <br />Mele suggested that we look at the functions instead of the accounting codes. She will <br />provide reports with grids and have items numbered for easier reading. <br /> <br />Hazel moved to accept the Treasurer’s Report. Katie seconded the motion. The motion <br />was passed. <br /> <br />STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC <br />None <br /> <br />CORRESPONDENCE <br />Carol received “Could Better Civics Education in Hawai‘i Boost Young Voter Turnout”, a <br />civil beat article which she will send to Lee for distribution. <br /> <br />Hazel will send Lee a list of all of the Hawai‘i County Council Members and their contact <br />information to distribute to the committee. <br /> <br /> <br />REPORTS <br />A. LIAISON <br /> 1. Legislative Update <br />Elena reported that from the Commission’s executive director, The Marriage <br />Equality Bill will be introduced in the Senate first and crossed over to the <br />House on Wednesday. Public testimonies will be accepted Monday thru <br />Thursday. Elena will be there on Tuesday to do meetings and offer testimony. <br />She suggested that if this committee would like to submit testimonies for the <br />bills, it can be done on-line so you don’t’ have to be present but will be <br />considered. <br /> <br />As we head into the legislative session, the following are repeat bills: Minimum <br />Wage, Comprehensive Sex Education and DOE; Reissuing of Birth Certificates <br />to Transgender Individuals; new bills are: Paid Maternity Leave and Paid <br />Family Leave. <br /> <br />2. Women’s Health Month – Women’s Night Out <br />Mele reported that Elena, Cyd and she attended the event. It was a wonderful <br />event with about 550 women. She will be sending pictures to Lee. It was <br />heartbreaking to see the women being pampered and to hear their stories. <br />There were booths for hair cuts, have their nails done, facials, massages, etc. <br />There was a lot of information for health needs. She suggested CSW should <br />in some way support this event annually because it got the CSW name out to <br />over 550 women in East Hawai‘i. CSW was given credit in the event booklet <br />and in the Mahalo ad. <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
