DISCUSSION
ACTION
The Committee discussed that they would like to be considered a partner and did not want to
be unrecognized and left out of the planning process. They agreed that their presence and
help with other task would justify what they could bring to the partnership. Ms. Ching stated
that a partnership to recruit mentors from this administration would be worthwhile. There
are highly qualified young women in top director and deputy positions that could be recruited
as mentors. She also suggested they seek the HSCSW and Governor's representatives as
another dynamic mentor possibility for this event. Through their contacts the committee
could also recruit women they knew in leadership or up and coming positions.
Ms. Yukimura conveyed that this partnership is worth exploring for the long run. She said
the event is new to the island and the committee could definitely provide recognition and
support, but suggested they be more cautious in their demands and expectations without first
experiencing what the event was all about. She reminded them that they contacted the Girl's
Summit, the Girl's Summit did not contact the committee and recommended a softer
approach at this point. The general idea would be to recruit mentors and agreed to the idea
of highlighting the administrations cabinet, county and state government.
Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller moved

committee. Ms. Carvalho was unfamiliar with the Patsy T. Mink Center and Girl's Summit
and asked for an overview of what it was all about. Ms. Yukimura explained they are based
on Oahu at the Honolulu YWCA and had a statewide program. Last year was the first Girl's
Summit on Kauai and the committee would be a great anchor for them, plus it aligned with
career day.
With no further discussions, Chair Lasker asked for a vote.

July 22-24, 2019, in Chicago, Illinois. [4/17/19, 5/15/19, 6/19/19, 7/17/19]
A. Vice Chair Wistinghausen to share Conference Recap Report.
B. Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller to share Conference Recap Report.
Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller shared that next years conference would be held in Loudoun, Virginia
and conference participants preferred it scheduled in September, for cooler weather, versus
July. She said the most meaningful and valuable session was the commission exchange,
which allowed each city or state commission the opportunity to share their top activities. She
was amazed at the variety of events presented and felt that many could be tweaked to
conform to our community needs. Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller mentioned many topics that were
discussed but some of the more popular ones included human trafficking, gender balance,
veterans, health & wellness, funding, membership and outreach in the community. One topic
shared was how other commissions met regularly with their Mayor and first lady. They
include the first lady in strategic planning and discussions on upcoming projects. Ms.
Ignacio-Neumiller felt strongly about extending an invitation to Ms. Monica Kawakami to
hear her ideas and gain an understanding of what her platform may be. Many commissions
were very aggressive and maintained high presence with legislative issues and established
working relationships with the Governors and top local government bodies in their state to
voice their concerns. She was impressed with the $23,000 budget some commissions had, in
comparison to the $1,000 budget and hoped it would eventually increase.
Ms. Ching commented that changing the conference date to September would be beneficial
to completing travel arrangements. She explained it was problematic when travel was done
at the end of the county's fiscal year and for clarification the committee's budget was
actually $7,000, which included the travel cost of two members to attend the conference.
She thanked Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller for her efforts in reaching out to Kauai Visitor's Bureau
Executive Director Sue Kanoho, who had always supported the committee and this year
donated a bunch of wonderful Kauai logo items. Ms. Ching acknowledged a friend who
donated items from Aunty Lilikoi, Kauai Chocolate and Salty Wahine, as well as the
Mayor's Office and Office of Economic Development. Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller said Kauai
was well represented and there were so much donations it filled three goody bags.

be United States citizens but lived and worked in the United States. The survey content was
also changed and shortened down to 5-10 minutes. She said the website information would
need to be updated along with the link. The committee reviewed the draft press release and
flyer. She would also contact Melissa Patterson and arrange for a Midweek cover story.

Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller remarked that she approached a Ho'ola Na Pua booth at the County
Fair and met Sarissa Judd. Ms. Judd was not aware of the upcoming human trafficking
forum and Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller relayed that Jessica Munoz would be one of the featured
panelist. Ms. Yukimura replied that Ms. Judd was a clinical nurse and the first Kauai
outreach education specialist. Ho'ola Na Pua founder Jessica Munoz developed the
organization based on her experience as an emergency room nurse where she was subjected
to human trafficking victims. They agreed that Ms. Judd should be invited to the forum.

DISCUSSION
ACTION
Ms. Ignacio-Neumiller was informed by Ms. Sue Kanoho of a sex trafficking workshop by
Ho'ola Na Pua in partnership with the Hawaii Tourism Authority for the hotel industry. The
free workshops would be held on Kauai and the outer islands from November 4-7.
Ms. Ching advocated keeping the focus on Kaua`i's resources and people in hopes that it
would sustain the awareness for the long haul and felt it was not necessary to invite a deputy
attorney general in lieu of the attorney general. She suggested to communicate the forum
information to Ms. Kanoho and request that she distribute it to her hotel industry contacts.
The committee discussed the venue options and decided the Mo'ikeha meeting room 2A/2B,
if reconfigured, could comfortably accommodate 75-102. Ms. Ching suggested they invite
75 key people, who were passionate about the subject and would sustain and push the
awareness out into the community.
Ms. Yukimura inquired about the format of the program and if there were a list of questions.
Ms. Ching suggested they form a Permitted Interaction Group (PIG) to work on the program,
timeline and questions. The committee agreed to place it on next month's agenda.

Voices of Women in America survey available through Nov. 30
The Kaua'i County Committee on the Status on the Women (KCCSW) wants to hear
from women 18 years and older about the concerns and issues of Kaua'i women. The

what's important to us, and we look forward to sharing the results of this groundbreaking report
with Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami, our County Council, community leaders, and grantors to
inform their decisions on policies, programs, and funding."
The survey results will be compiled into a national report that is to be released in July
2020 and will be shared with the President, Congress, and the nation.
