G.M. No. 626

NANTE MANANGAN,

for a term to expire 6-30-2019 (as amended by GM874),

 

begs leave to report as follows:

     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination of Nante Manangan from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and four individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Mr. Manangan's background, experience, and commitment to serving his community qualify him for appointment to the State Boxing Commission of Hawaii.  Your Committee notes that Mr. Manangan started boxing as a teenager on Molokai in the 1960s and is the Chief Executive Officer of the Southside Boxing Club of Maui, Inc., which he founded in 1996.  Mr. Manangan has been actively involved in the sport of boxing on Maui for the past twenty years, including acting as an events promoter and as a coach for numerous boxers of different skill and age levels.  Your Committee further finds that Mr. Manangan has a thorough understanding of the role and responsibilities of commission members and therefore recommends that Mr. Manangan be appointed to the State Boxing Commission of Hawaii based on his experience, dedication to the sport of boxing, and commitment to public service.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
