1. I will work proactively with the Native Hawaiian Gommunity to hold an i\lra (conference) focused on continued funding for all organizations that receive federal entitlements for programs and services to the Native Hawaiian Community. 2. My door will always be open to you in D.C. and in Hawaih. I want to hear your concerns and your needs so we ean work together to maintain and enhanee the funding stream for Native Hawaiian programs. 3. I pledge to work with Native Hawaiian organizations to determine how federal grants ean be a catalyst for social enterprise so that if feasible, programs ean become self-sustainable. 4. I will recruit a team of advisors from the community including the Native Hawaiian community. Tlris team will be my eyes and ears so I ean always be thinking about new and better ways the federal government ean help loeal organizations that serve the needs of our community. 5. I pledge to listen to the Native Hawaiian community and work with them to pass some form of federal legislation that halts the challenges to Native Hawaiian entitlement programs and organizations such as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Kamehameha Schools.
