W hat is your personal relationship with our local Hawai`i Government? Do you think your voice matters in the Legislative Process? Do you consider your participation a privilege, a burden or a responsibility? racy then there’s no excuse for not being informed. There’s no dearth of the constant stream of information available at our fingertips. From newspapers, to television, radio, government proceedings, and the ever-present technological options… we’re actually on an information over-load, so keeping up with issues that are important to us should be easy! With more acronyms than we can ever hope to remember and, the never ending requests for testimony (at the last minute), the legislative process can seem at once Judith extremely daunting, exceptionally complex Fox-Goldstein and, at the same time, very compelling especially if you believe that your voice really does make a difference. LET’S GET IT DONE! Stay involved and fight for what you believe in! Another way to increase your knowledge on issues is to participate in FORUMS. You can learn more about candidates when the race is contested. When candidates are challenged, they are compelled to share their own opinions on the issues which allows us a more realistic and candid view of their stance on issues. • • From my perspective, there is nothing more exhilarating than participatory government and no greater responsibility than an informed citizenry. “We, the people” can affect change and have the power to influence the future. TAKE FOR INSTANCE, THE CASE OF GMO: Whether you’re pro GMO or against GMO, you certainly must agree that we are watching the future change because of our participation in government. “We, the People”… have very significant influence on future generations because of our participation in the legislative process and it’s our collective responsibility to make certain that we are an ‘informed’ citizenry. Being well informed allows us to make good decisions when we vote or support legislation. From the Chamber’s prospective, again regarding GMO, we believed that there was a defined lack of knowledge in this area that stimulated un-founded fears resulting in poor decision making! I thought the Chamber’s position, (and similar positions from our local farmers, ranchers and businesses) were impactful and heard by our leaders. However, since the signing of Bill #113, we’ve been criticized for being too ‘silent” on the issue. I was challenged by the question,“Where was your silent majority on this issue?” This is not a mistake we’ll make again as we move forward! IN SUPPORT OF THE DANIEL K. INOUYE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY (DKICoP) Let’s also look at how our citizenry is approaching the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy. It’s extremely impressive to watch the mobilization of our community in support of this College. Currently, the testimony submitted in support of funding the College is voluminous. If we remain passive, there’s certainly no hope that we can affect change so, participating in the legislative process is critical if there’s any hope of funding and sustaining the College of Pharmacy. The outpouring of support for the College represents an impressive community effort and a perfect example of the “power of the people!” Now, let’s hope that our Legislators hear our voices loud and strong and FUND the building! ARE WE INFORMED? DO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION ON ISSUES? If we take citizen involvement as a responsibility in our democ- ARE THERE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATING IN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS? When I posed this question, I received some interesting comments on barriers such as: • It takes too much time to submit testimony • The system is too complicated and I never know exactly what to say • Does my opinion really count? • Inconvenient • Feelings of frustration and a lack of specific knowledge keep me from submitting any testimony • Jaded opinions that Legislators are just always running for office and raising money! We live in a representative democracy and voters elect leaders to make decisions on their behalf. My response was that if we don’t share our opinions with our legislators, we then relinquish any right to complain about the decisions our leaders make. In the absence of direction from the public…legislators will make their own decisions or are influenced by those people who do share their views. Public input is vital… it is an inalienable right and privilege that we should not take for granted! Comments supported the fact that people feel intimidated by the process and lack confidence in speaking their mind. Some also expressed fear about the consequences of submitting testimony (real or imagined) because they didn’t want to negatively affect their business or personal relationships. HICC Needs YOUR Involvement! As the “Voice of Business in Hawaii”, we can only represent our members if they make their positions heard YOUR TESTIMONY COUNTS! Whether it’s about increasing the Minimum Wage, Tourism and the TAT tax, the Residency Program, Public Private Partnerships, Higher Education, Early Childhood Education, Land Issues, Geothermal or GMO… all of these issues are compelling and will change our collective future for generations to come! These issues and laws will affect the way we do business and our quality of life so, PLEASE… continue to participate in the Legislative process! YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR TESTIMONY MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Aloha! http://www.facebook.com/HawaiiIslandChamberofCommerce CHAMBER CONNECTION MARCH 2014 PAGE 3 Participatory Government: Commentary (Continued from President’s Column) Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy “Due to the lack of funding for a permanent facility, the entire future of the Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at UH Hilo is in peril. We believe the State Legislature is aware of this impending crisis and we have witnessed some progress to rectify the situation. After years of struggling, why are we Dr. John Pezzuto, seeing movement in a positive direcFounding Dean, tion now? Of course no one knows the DKICoP complete answer, but I attribute our progress to the fine support we have received from the community. But we still have a long way to go. Please stay with us and let your voices be heard. This College of Pharmacy is here to serve all the people of Hawaii, and we will be able to do so for many years to come with your support. Mahalo nui loa.” Let Your Voice Be Heard! “It is natural to focus on other issues that seem more pressing from our businesses to our families, church and civic groups because those are the important things in life. However, the legislative process considers laws that could affect every aspect of your life from taxes to healthcare or education. Please remember that taking an active role is not an “all or nothing” proposi- Vaughn Cook, tion. If you can write a letter or appear HICC President at a hearing, GREAT! But, often, it is 2012-2013 important to just have your voice heard. Letting the legislators know that the silent majority feel strongly about certain issues may just involve sending a short email or placing a telephone call. That action may give that representative or senator the courage to stand up with you and know that he/she is not alone.” Jon Miyata, HICC President 2011-2012 Get Involved! It’s our Privilege and our Opportunity! “We have the opportunity and privilege to influence legislation. It’s so easy to assume that someone else will submit testimony, so why should I? Just like our elections, numbers count! Spending an hour or two studying a certain bill and acting on it, through testimony and or lobbying, is a lot better than suffering a lifetime of regret for not doing anything. Get involved, it’s our privilege and opportunity!” MAHALO TO OUR DISTINGUISHED COMMENTATORS!

PAGE 4 Governor’s Message: Hawaii’s Financial Standing Continues to Improve I am pleased to report our state’s asset growth has outpaced liability growth for the first time in seven years. Released last month, Hawaii’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, shows that the state’s net position – assets less liabilities – for primary governmental activities increased for the first time since 2006 Neil Abercrombie from $4.5 billion to $4.8 billion, a gain of $307.1 million. This represents an increase of 6.8 percent over 2012. Another sign of our state’s improving trajectory is continued positive growth in our local economy and responsible management of fiscal affairs, which includes recognized progress in meeting our obligations for timely reporting. Under this administration, the Departments of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) and Budget and Finance have successfully worked with the Office of the Legislative Auditor and an external auditor to address deficiencies in the timely production of previous CAFRs. For each of the last three years, this collaboration has resulted in the CAFR being delivered in a much timelier manner. Timely reporting is important because investors and credit agencies are able to use the data to make decisions, since it’s not outdated. The CAFR also identified an encouraging decrease in capital projects fund standing balances from $281 million to $149 million. This is due to an increase in capital improvement project activity as more funds were distributed by the administration with improved efficiency into the economy through construction projects. The importance of construction to our local economy, especially as a growth segment in an otherwise stable economy, was highlighted in a report released by the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) Research and Economic Analysis Division. The first report of its kind in nearly 14 years, it examined the past performance of Hawaii’s construction industry and now identifies construction as the main economic driver for the next few years. Specifically, the report predicts that the construction industry will grow by 12.4 percent in 2014 and 8.3 percent in 2015. This is supported by DBEDT’s first quarter 2014 economic forecast, in which the department expects the construction industry to lead as Hawaii’s overall economy grows each year through 2017. As construction continues to accelerate to meet demands such as affordable housing, we can expect increased jobs, strong revenue and continued economic improvement. I invite Chamber members to read all three reports, available on my webpage at governor.hawaii.gov (click on “Economic Turnaround” under Useful Links).

CHAMBER CONNECTION MARCH 2014 PAGE 6 Chancellor’s Message: Cooperative Education Program of Benefit to Students, Business Community, and Workforce Development I n this month’s column I’d like to share an emerging initiative being developed at University of Hawai‘i at Hilo’s College of Business and Economics under the leadership of the college’s dean, Krishna Dhir. In recent years, the college has taken major strides in estabDonald O. Straney lishing itself as an academic community of high stature. The attainment of accreditation and subsequent reaccreditation of its programs by the Association for Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business International certify this exceptional achievement. Going forward, in collaboration with regional industries, the college is proposing to complement its intellectual capital with expertise in practice. The intent is to augment academic and scholarly expertise with expertise in the practice of the profession. This initiative will enable the college to contribute significantly to workforce development needed in our region. In designing this initiative, the college has enjoyed great encouragement from representatives of the hospitality and resort industries in West Hawai‘i. Already, a number of internship opportunities are being extended to our business students by regional businesses such as the Hawai‘i Electric Light Company and the public accounting firm of Taketa, Iwata, Hara & For up-to-date information on our members, please visit our website: www.hicc.biz WELCOME OUR NEW MEMBERS! American Cancer Society Erin Moncada & Sharise Thomas 58 Kinoole Street, Ste. 104 Hilo, HI 96720 Phone: (808) 935-0025 Email: [email protected] www.cancer.org InBigIsland.Com, LLC Tony Misiaszek & Phil Quiocho P.O. Box 6677 Hilo, HI 96720 Phone: (808) 333-6936 Email: [email protected] www.inbigisland.com Associates. These internships prove invaluable not only to our students and local businesses, but also to our island community as a whole. Building on this concept, and with the assistance of its Advisory Board, the college is developing a model for a Cooperative Education Program. Cooperative education refers to a structured approach to education that combines classroom-based learning with practical work experience in an industry. The Cooperative Education Program proposed by our College of Business and Economics is a model program offering multiterm, three-way agreements between organizations, the college, and undergraduate degree students. One major benefit of the proposed program is to facilitate the affordability of the college’s undergraduate degree programs. Through this program, a student will spend one semester a year, usually the summer semester, working full time for salary with an organization, returning to UH Hilo to enroll as a fulltime student for the next two consecutive semesters, usually the fall and the spring semesters. Usually the student will return to the same organization for each of the three semesters involved. While working in the organization, the student will enroll at UH Hilo to earn three internship credits for which, at the end of the semester, the student will be required to submit a reflective report on the work performed. Registration for credit will also give the student access to health insurance. The student will be required to make the commitment to remain in this program until graduation, usually with the student working in an organization for a total of three semesters prior to the completion of the undergraduate program of study. The salary earned during the semesters spent working in the organization will enable the student to afford the cost of education for the entire program of study for the undergraduate degree. This Cooperative Education Program concept has been discussed to date with the members of the Advisory Board of the college, and the leadership of several business organizations, all of whom have received the idea enthusiastically. The college is seeking partners in cooperative education from local businesses and is open to suggestions for further improvement of the concept. I encourage the local business community to participate in both the planning and implementation of this innovative program. To contribute your mana‘o or for more information about how you can participate in this program, please contact Krishna Dhir, dean of UH Hilo’s College of Business and Economics, at (808) 932-7272, (808) 494-5988, or [email protected].

Hundreds of dedicated office professionals in our community have enjoyed our Chamber’s Office Professionals’ Day Luncheon held on National Administrative Professionals’ Day at the Naniloa Crown Room. This one of a kind event gives our local businesses and employers an opportunity to celebrate and show appreciation to their hardworking professionals. We regretfully announce that our OP Day Luncheon will be cancelled this year due to the repair and renovation efforts at the Crown Room. This venue offers the showroom atmosphere and seating capacity needed for the nearly 400 guests who attend this always sold-out event. Heartfelt thanks to our Office Professionals’ Day Luncheon Chair Jan Higashi and her hardworking committee for taking the time and effort to plan a special event like this for our members and community. Please make this April 23 special for your Administrative Professional and we’ll see you next year! CHAMBER CONNECTION MARCH 2014 PAGE 9 CHAMBER CONNECTION MARCH 2014 PAGE 10 UHH Interns Gain Hands-On Experience with OMKM By: Stephanie Nagata, Director, The Office of Mauna Kea Management P IPES (Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science) is a UH Hilo program that seeks to improve the recruitment and retention of local students—especially those of Hawaiian ancestry—in fields related to the natural resources of Hawaii and the Pacific. OMKM participates in PIPES for several reasons: 1) It extends our Stephanie Nagata outreach in the community; 2) It supports an important component in UH Hilo’s Strategic Plan by providing hands-on job experience for students, and; 3) We can certainly use the help. Our first PIPES intern was Jessica Kirkpatrick, who came on board in 2012. Jessica was completing her degree in Environmental Studies at UHH and worked with Fritz Klasner, OMKM’s natural resources program manager, and Dr. Jesse Eiben, who continues to conduct important arthropod studies on Mauna Kea funded by OMKM. By partnering with Jesse, the internship experience involved Jessica Kirkpatrick and both scientific and management Kerri Nakatsu at a recent silversword planting components, as desired by volunteer day PIPES. Jessica collected arthropod samples on Mauna Kea, providing data that helped Jesse figure out what plant species are the preferred home to different arthropod species. On the management side, Jessica’s work helps OMKM develop an invasive species plan, a key element in its implementation of the CMP. The partnership worked really well, so, following the 10-week Internship we hired Jessica as a natural resource technician so she might continue her work. In 2013, OMKM hired two interns, Amber Stillman and Kerri Nakatsu. Kerri, then a UHH junior in Biology, partnered with the Big Island Invasive Species Committee and OMKM. She worked with native Hawaiian vegetation and helped to write monitoring protocols. Kerri, along with Jessica and Amber, also benefitted Amber Stillman and Kerri Nakatsu, from their involvement at a recent silversword planting with Pacific Consulting volunteer day. Services, Inc ., OMKM’s archeological consultant. Integrating archaeological monitoring with other resource management activities builds cultural awareness, heightens cultural sensitivity, and informs all other monitoring activities. The integration of natural and cultural resources protection efforts is one of the major goals of the CMP. Amber, a local Kamehameha Schools graduate, completed her studies at San Diego State University with a background in GIS before returning home to join the Spatial Data Analysis Lab in the UHH Geography Department via the PIPES program. She is focusing on developing three-dimensional maps of Mauna Kea and “fly through” movies. As with Jessica, we have kept Amber on as a GIS resource technician to finalize the 3-D map products and movie. OMKM’s involvement with PIPES helps expose students to new perspectives. The short-term employment opportunities provide graduates with on-the-job training specific to their field and cultural perspectives gained by participating in archeological monitoring—and it is especially important for anyone working in resource management in Hawaii to have knowledge and understanding of both native Hawaiian cultural resources and natural resources. The goal is to better prepare students as they seek permanent jobs.
