Antonio <br />Gaspar declined to be nominated. <br />Michael Doolittle nominated self. <br />Emile Wery nominated Carolle Brulee-Wilson. <br />Debra Lewis seconded both motions for the nomination of Michael Doolittle and Carolle <br />Brulee-Wilson as Chair. <br />Discussion regarding nomination of Michael Doolittle as Chair. <br />Michael Doolittle stated he is serious about helping Veterans. He is Vice -Chair of the <br />Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial. He is dedicated to helping Veterans. <br />Debra Lewis spoke in support of Michael Doolittle as Chair. Stating he is more than <br />capable to do it (Chair), he has the interest to do it and he has worked very hard in a short <br />amount of time to gain the connections to do it. He has the energy and time for which this <br />is going to require of us. Which is not a huge amount but he is already involved in other <br />things that are dealing with the issues. <br />Marcia Brinkley spoke in support of Michael Doolittle as Chair. Stating that he is more <br />than capable. <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel, J Yoshimoto confirmed no more discussion regarding the <br />nomination of Michael Doolittle. Since there are two nominations for Chair, we will <br />discuss the nomination of Carolle Brulee-Wilson as Chair. <br />Carolle Brulee-Wilson is honored to be nominated. She has been in numerous Veteran <br />organizations in the past and even after she left all the organizations she still has a <br />yearning in herself to want to help Veterans. She will do the best she can. <br />Debra Lewis spoke in support of Carolle Brulee-Wilson as Chair. She has worked with <br />Carolle for a long time. When Debra first arrived in Hawaii Carolle was the person Debra <br />went to get a lot of help about what they are now doing and how they are doing it. <br />Distance will be her greatest challenge as she lives in Waikoloa. Carolle is more than <br />capable to do the job. Carolle is a wealth of information and we need her on the team. If <br />she doesn't get this, maybe she can be the Vice -Chair. Debra appreciates Carolle's <br />willingness to be on this board. <br />Dale Wilson stated that because Michael Doolittle is in Hilo, Dale would like to make a <br />motion that we nominate Michael Doolittle as Chair and Carolle Brulee-Wilson as Vice - <br />Chair. <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel, J Yoshimoto confirmed that the motion has been amended. <br />Can we get a second? <br />
