Kawili Street <br /> Honolulu, HI 96822 Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Dear Mr. Lassner & Ms. Sakai, <br /> I deeply appreciate the opportunity to suggest qualified persons to fill vacancies on <br /> the Maunakea Management Board. I apologize for this late response and hope this is still <br /> timely. <br /> You are well aware of the committee I have formed to advise the Governor on a <br /> vision for Maunakea. It would definitely complement this mission if selective members of <br /> this vision committee could also sit on the Management Board to implement the vision. <br /> I would like to recommend the following two members of the vision committee who have <br /> demonstrated to me their passion, strength of values, eloquence, and ability to listen on <br /> matters relating to Maunakea: <br /> • Kalepa (Chad) Baybayan. Kalepa first sailed on Hokule'a in 1975 and has sailed <br /> on all major Hokule'a voyages since. He currently serves as the Navigator in <br /> Residence at the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawai'i developing wayfinding <br /> activities, curriculum materials, and conducting outreach. <br /> • Kepa Maly. Kepa is a respected expert on historical and ethnographic studies and <br /> very knowledgeable about the cultural values of Maunakea. <br /> I would like to also recommend an impressive educator whom I have recently <br /> met. His name is Kilohana (Aaron) Hirano. Aaron is the East Hawai'i Regional Director <br /> for Kamehameha Schools. Born and raised in Hilo, Aaron holds a bachelor's degree in <br /> Hawaiian studies with close to 20 years of educator experience. <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
