RE: Comm. 200: Nomination of Rebecca Kawehi Inaba to the Leeward Planning
Commission
Aloha County of Hawaii Council Members,
My name is Malia Louis, and I am pleased to offer my absolute support for the nomination
of Kawehi Inaba to the Leeward Planning Commission.
In my role as President on the Board of La`ifopua 2020, I have worked closely with Kawehi
and have observed her effectiveness as a leader. She consistently demonstrates
professionalism, integrity, and a thoughtful approach to leadership that fosters
collaboration and sound decision-making.
One of Kawehi's greatest strengths is her independence. She approaches every issue with a
deep sense of responsibility to the community, culture, and future generations. She is fair
and open-minded, carefully considering diverse perspectives while prioritizing
transparency and ethical decision-making.
Kawehi's ability to navigate complex community matters with grace and impartiality makes
her a valuable asset. Her experience across business, nonprofit leadership, and
community engagement allows her to approach issues from multiple viewpoints while
keeping the greater good of the public at the forefront.
Comm. No. i+�.��.

I have no doubt that Kawehi will bring balance, objectivity, and a strong commitment to
civic service to the Leeward Planning Commission. She will contribute meaningfully to
decisions that reflect both progress and the values of our island home.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this exceptional candidate.
Always with Aloha,
Malia Louis
President, La`i`opua 2020
