To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to express my support for Na Leo TV and its leadership under Stacy Higa
for a Business Leadership Hawai'i award.
Under Mr. Higa's leadership, Na Leo TV has been transformed into a dynamic player in
our community, doing vigorous outreach that has had real impact in enhancing our
quality of information.
Na Leo TV took a quantum leap in terms of its technology and content over the past five
years. From a viewer's standpoint, it has vastly improved in every respect.
Hawai'i County, situated on an island, urgently needs a timely and trustworthy local
source of news, information and public affairs programming. Since Mr. Higa took the
helm at Na Leo TV five years ago, the network has become the go -to place for our
residents to find out what's going on in government and community affairs.
Mr. Higa and his excellent team have shown a deep commitment to informing our
community in a clear, unbiased way. We are grateful for their important contributions
towards engaging citizens with the topics of the day.
In conclusion, I urge you to seriously consider this application for the Business
Leadership Hawai'i award. Please contact me should you have any questions about my
support for Na Leo TV and its leadership.
Sincerely,
1It
