Big Island Senator Lorraine Inouye will host the GIA interviews, joined by Senators Donovan Dela Cruz, Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, WAM Vice-Chair Gilbert Keith-Agaran, and Senate Vice President Michelle Kidani. Also invited to participate are Hawaii Island Senators Kai Kahele, Dru Mamo Kanuha, and Russell Ruderman.
The Senators will interview organizations who have sought state funding for non-profit programs and projects.
“I’m looking forward to speaking with those who have applied for GIAs to get a clear picture of what their needs and goals are,” said Sen. Inouye. “I want to thank Senators Dela Cruz, Keith-Agaran, and Kidani for coming to Hawai‘i Island to hear from our community.”
