NOVEMBER 25, 2014 stated that he was able and willing to represent Yap State as a member of the Board of Regents.
Further, the nominee stated he did not anticipate that the travel and time he would invest in board membership on the Board of Regents would detract from his full-time position in any significant way.

While all present were pleased with this individual nominee it was noted that in the future it was hoped there would be more diversity in the nominations for the Board of Regents.
As a requirement of the COM-FSM accreditation its Board of Regents members should represent the diverse backgrounds of our Nation’s communities.

All present agreed that this consideration should be addressed with future nominations.

The representative from the Office of the President and the Chief of Staff to the President stated that the nomination for the Board of Regents to represent the State of Chuuk should be transmitted shortly.
Your Committee emphasized to the witnesses that it was important to fill the vacancies on the Board of Regents so it may efficiently conduct its work.

Finally, the Committee notes that the Office of the President and President’s Chief of Staff stated the President supports this nomination, and the Governor of Yap has written a letter in support of this nominee as well.

The nominee’s resume and the recommendation from the Governor of Yap are attached with this report.
Overall your Committee on Education is supportive of this nomination.

Your Committee on Education is in accord with the intent and purposes of C.R.
