BOR
Verbal Recap of the BOR Conference held on May 29, 2015 in Honolulu, Hawaii
Conference
Mr. Kolenda was thankful the County sent them to this Conference which was very valuable with great discussion and the
ability to talk with board members from other counties. Both Mr. Hunt and Attorney Roversi had great presentations. Chair
Bekeart said the topics were not terribly new but the discussion was and brought up a lot of ideas and issues. Mr. Kolenda
added that Maui was surprised that realtors were allowed to serve on the board; they have a law that limits real estate
professionals to two board members.
