RE: Comm. 200: Nomination of Rebecca Kawehi Inaba to the Leeward Planning Commission
Aloha County of Hawaii Council Members,
I am honored to support the nomination of Kawehi Inaba to the County of Hawai'i's Leeward Planning
Commission. Kawehi is a dedicated leader who carries a deep sense of kuleana to her community.
She leads with aloha, always prioritizing the well-being of the people and the land, ensuring that
decisions are made with care, balance, and respect for those who came before us and those who will
come after.
Kawehi has a strong ability to bring people together, listen with intention, and navigate complex
issues with fairness and thoughtfulness. She understands the importance of maintaining the delicate
relationship between growth and preservation, recognizing that true progress is rooted in the values
and needs of the community. Her leadership is grounded in integrity, cultural awareness, and a deep
love for West Hawaii.
With her experience, passion, and unwavering commitment to uplifting others, Kawehi will serve with
the heart of a true community steward. I strongly support her nomination and encourage her
confirmation. 11
