Committee on Status of Women presents "Let's Talk" for Women's History
Month on March 6
LTHUE — The Committee on the Status of Women for Women's History Month invites the
public to experience a free heart-to-heart talk with featured speakers and honorees Renae
Hamilton-Cambeilh and Gina Kaulukukui on March 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Kaua'i War
Memorial Convention Hall in LThu'e.
This free event offers an opportunity to meet these extraordinary women and provides a
platform to provoke conversation and raise awareness.
Members of the Committee on the Status of Women selected Ms. Hamilton-Cambeilh
and Ms. Kaulukukui for their public service, dedication, and leadership in the community. These
women are the essence of this year's theme "Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Non -
Violence" and have influenced public policy, community organization, and worked tirelessly to
make Kaua'i a better place to live.
Ms. Hamilton-Cambeilh has been with the YWCA of Kaua'i for the past 21 years in
various roles such as a crisis counselor, prevention educator, sexual assault treatment program
director, and for the past 10 years, as the executive director, working to provide domestic
violence and sex assault prevention resources, response, and treatment services for the island
community.
Ms. Kaulukukui is the domestic violence interventions coordinator for the Kauai Police
Department. She is a certified grief counselor, co-founder and executive director of Life's
Bridges Hawaii Inc., dedicated to providing immediate support to anyone following a sudden
and traumatic death. Ms. Kaulukukui was also instrumental in the development of the Prevent
Suicide Kauai Task Force and KLAS (Kaua`i Leaders Against Suicide) Youth Suicide
Prevention Program.
The Committee on the Status of Women is part of the County of Kauai Office of Boards
and Commissions, and the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, which develops
and promotes education, interactive opportunities on issues relating to women and girls,
prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls, and encourages health and
wellness awareness.
