State needs board, commission, committee volunteers

The Office of the Governor is looking for qualified and dedicated volunteers to fill vacancies on boards, commissions and committees across the state.

The governor makes appointments and nominations to more than 185 boards and commissions established by the state constitution, state statutes and executive orders.

Boards and commissions give residents an opportunity to have a voice in their government and to influence decisions that shape the quality of life for the people of Hawaii.

Vacancies must be filled on a wide range of boards, commissions and committees including: the Board of Health; State Board of Nursing; Board of Veterinary Examiners; Board of Taxation Review; Real Estate Commission; and the Board of Electricians and Plumbers.

Also, the Board of Certification of Operating Personnel in Wastewater Treatment Plants; and Board of Professional Engineers, Architects, Surveyors and Landscape Architects.

Those interested in a seat on a board, commission or committee and helping to continue Hawaii’s momentum toward a strong and sustainable future can apply online at boards.hawaii.gov. Volunteers can serve on one board, commission or committee at a time.
