Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2019 BKK: Is there any update on Public Outreach committee? Oh. Who is that? I have no idea. Oh, yeah, I have a cheat sheet. All right – well, what I wanted to kind of add on the Public Outreach Committee is a website and creating social media – that way we can get the word out there – we can work with the community hands on if we start I think making those two – you know, Facebook and Instagram is a big thing so I was hoping that whoever’s in the Public Outreach Committee would be able to outreach through those capacities. GD: George, here...regarding the website – I think there’s some specific things we have to do. MH: This is Malia. I would suggest either working with the Mayor’s Office or with IT to just see what the policies are cause we do have County policies on social media and stuff like that – just to make sure we’re n not stepping on anybody’s toes, as well, it would be good to just have them in the mix before we do that. NP: So on Public Outreach, right, I forgot I was on that committee – but I did have some ideas that if we can get our meetings all scheduled ahead of time for the whole year – that we can post those dates on places were interested groups would go like Tokunaga’s and Jay Hara’s on their bulletin board a hard copy posting. We’ve tried putting – I tried putting the meetings in the calendar’s on the Tribune Herald but West Hawaii but nobody seems to go there so I stopped doing it because there was no feedback on it. BKK: There’s always all avenues of getting the word out there... GD: George here. I was just thinking that maybe one of the more effective ways of spreading the word would be communicating directly with whatever interest groups or clubs – things like that – that we can, you know, directly communicate with because although social media is good I feel like it would be a very specific thing to pursue and I’m not sure if our target demographic is necessarily there – in the entirety. So there may be like more direct and better approaches to communicating with the demographic we want to reach out to. NP: So Malia did you say that – but we could just do a simple website – just stating our dates? MH: I would have to check with our County policies on web presence and social media – I know that you guys do have on the County website already – there is like a folder where we have all our agenda minutes and communications so I don’t see why you couldn’t then, you know, put other communications in there if you wanted to... NP: People have said that’s hard to find... 33
