Dwight received his law degree from William S. Richards School of law in 1978 and subsequently practiced labor law in Honolulu and on the island of Hawaii. In 1984 Dwight was elected to the State House of Representatives where he served continuously until being elected to the State Senate in 200S. While serving in the House of Representatives Dwight cilaired the Finance Committee as well as the Labor Committee. He also chaired the Senate's Labor Committee. As the immediate past chair of the Senate's Labor Committee, Dwight has a keen understanding of the various issues currently facing the DUR, induding the problems facing the State's unemployment insurance program.

Director of Health March 28, 2013 Department's Position: The department supports the intent of this bill but wishes to provide additional 2 comments aimed at safeguarding clients with developmental disabilities (DD), 3 Fiscal Implications:. DOH would incur the costs of staff time and effort to revise the administrative 4 rules to include the requirement to obtain and maintain liability insurance. 5 Purpose and Justification: Senate Draft I of this bill increased the number of developmentally 6 disabled clients that can be served in a DD adult foster home.' An increase in the number ofDD beds in 7 an adult foster home diminishes the intent of the home and is unnecessary. Having 3 DD clients 8 changes the concept from a family home to a group home and diminishes the ability of a family to 9 provide the quality of relationships that make a foster home different from a higher-capacity facility- 10 based long term care setting.

CASCO Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa TABLE OF CONTENTS 01 02 03 PURPOSE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE IN THE LEG OVERVIEW Why this resource A review of climate change An assessment and analysis was created for you indicators, impacts, and case of climate-related studies on advocacy initiatives initiatives in the 2019 in the Pacific region Hawaiʻi State Legislature 04 05 06 KEY INSIGHTS + RESOURCES + TOOLS APPENDICES STRATEGIES Sharing advocacy insights Materials to help you get Supporting data and and strategies from started: step-by-step information community members and guides, worksheets, and seasoned environmental resources advocates 2 01 PURPOSE Why this resource was created for you 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WELINA MAI Welcome to the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Advocacy Advisor! Despite the importance of environmental advocacy in ensuring effective decision-making processes and outcomes, smaller community-based resource stewardship organizations in Hawaiʻi often lack the skills, tools, guidance, and capacity to organize their own advocacy plans and strategies. This lack of support has made it difficult to protect and fulfill their environmental interests through an inability to participate in policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels. There is a need to support these groups to develop their own advocacy frameworks and plans, which will ensure their ability to express their views on climate change and natural resource issues that impact them. This resource seeks to support small community-based natural resource organizations in Hawaiʻi to more effectively participate in climate change and natural resource policy and decision-making processes at local and state levels.
