<br />Discussion: Because it’s such a difficult project and a big commitment, this <br />program will be removed from agenda until a member wants to adopt it as <br />a project they are willing to oversee and support. <br /> <br /> 2.

Mentoring <br />Kim Schnieder asked how the committee feels about mentoring and if it’s <br />something we would like to pursue. <br /> <br />Farrah-Marie Gomes stated that there’s too much of a liability for her to <br />commit to this volunteer group. We could run it thru an entity that would <br />be willing to provide the liability. It’s a much needed program and service; <br />however, that’s a specialty area for professionals. <br /> <br />Mele Spencer stated that the Zonta Club of Hilo wanted to do something <br />like this with HCEOC since they got money from the Weinberg <br />Foundation; never got the program off the ground; the issue is getting the <br />women involved. It’s a lot of time and commitment of a mentor. <br /> <br />Katie Nova suggested having Jill Murray do presentations with a <br />mentoring spin on it at the schools on mentoring. <br /> <br />Elena Cabatu mentioned that this is something the State CSW might be <br />able to provide funding for and to have Jill Murray stop by at other <br />schools. <br /> <br />Discussion: To get her here would be very difficult; expensive and <br />scheduling. <br /> <br />Nancy Kelly stated that the difficulty would be to coordinate her travel; <br />need advance planning. <br />6 <br /> <br />
