Maui's business community has a unique opportunity to shape local policy and contribute to community development. The County of Maui is actively seeking volunteers to fill nearly 70 positions on its Boards and Commissions, as announced in a recent news item from Maui Now. To provide interested individuals with more information, the Rotary Club of Kīhei-Wailea will host a public presentation on Wednesday, December 10th, focusing on the application process and the roles and responsibilities of board members.
Community members and local entrepreneurs who participate in these boards play a crucial role in advising the Mayor and the County Council on crucial decisions affecting the island. The responsibilities include, according to a Maui County press release, hearing public testimony, reviewing policies, and making recommendations regarding the County's future.
The presentation at the Rotary Club meeting will offer a valuable insight into the various boards and commissions actively seeking volunteers. Potential volunteers can consider opportunities such as the Liquor Control Commission, Maui Planning Commission, Police Commission, and Fire and Public Safety Commission. This is a chance to apply their professional skills and experience in a civic capacity. Interested individuals are encouraged to attend the presentation to learn more about the application process and the various opportunities available to contribute to the County's growth and sustainability.
Taking part in these commissions provides a chance to engage directly in the decision-making processes, directly contributing to the County’s development. Those with a desire to serve their community actively have a chance to apply knowledge and expertise that will help shape the future of business and community life in Maui.
