And I want to start by as appropriate acknowledging all our kūpuna who are here with us <br />both physically and in spirit for this very important project. I have the honor and privilege of <br />introducing our team today to do a short presentation with you, an abbreviated presentation for you, <br />after which we’ll have a few comments, and then as the Planning Director’s team mentioned, you <br />know, we will be moving for a continuance to the next hearing. But we’ll move forward with our <br />abbreviated presentation and some comments. <br /> <br />So I’m here in two capacities today. I’m here on behalf of the trustees and the CEO team of <br />Kamehameha Schools. I am the Vice President of Community Engagement and Resources for <br />Kamehameha Schools. Again, I have the privilege of managing a wonderful team of people with the <br />tremendous kuleana to steward Pauahi’s lands across five islands statewide, as well as developing our <br />plans and our services in our communities, in our broader Hawaiian community statewide, that’s the <br />group.
