Speak to governor's key staff in Hilo Aug. 9, 8-3-2016
Aloha Colleagues,
We have been invited by Wil Okabe, the representative for Gov. David Ige's East Hawaii office and immediate past president of HSTA, to attend the governor's Community Connection meeting in Hilo next week.
The governor believes statewide engagement and collaboration with our island and communities are essential for creating positive and lasting change within our state.
One of the governor’s main goals is to hear from the community – especially young people -- about their concerns and hopes for the future. The event at UH Hilo will allow the governor to talk briefly about the administration’s strategic initiatives, and more important, to listen and engage in conversations about top-of-mind issues for the people of East Hawaii.
Date: Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016
Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Place: University Campus Building (301) room 100, UH Hilo
Breakout sessions will provide an opportunity for us to focus on the following areas of interest to teachers and students:
Department of Land and Natural Resources: UCB Building (301), Room 100
Agriculture/Department of Health: Campus Center Building, Room 301
Department of Transportation: UCB Building (301), Room 127
Homelessness: Campus Center Building, Room 306
Hope you can attend.
Mahalo,
Dawn Raymond, President
HSTA Hilo Chapter
