O`ahu Board Members and Commissioners Sworn In
Governor Lingle presided over the swearing-in ceremony for 259 O`ahu residents who have been appointed or reappointed to serve on State boards and commissions.
Governor Lingle, Lt. Governor Aiona, Justice Duffy and members of the State Council on Developmental Disabilies.
Statewide, 457 residents have answered the call of public service through more than 160 boards and commissions.
On behalf of the people of Hawai`i, Governor Lingle thanked board members and commissioners for their willingness to participate in decisions that affect their fellow citizens and the state.
The Governor also highlighted the significant impact that each board and commission will have on the state.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world," Governor Lingle said, quoting Margaret Mead, a cultural anthropologist. "Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
