Confidential feedback<\/strong> on Dr. Julian Vasquez Heilig can be provided through this online survey form<\/a>, which will be open until 6 p.m. Friday, October 4.<\/p>\n

For those who wish to provide feedback that will be posted online and made public<\/strong>, submit comments to bor.testimony@hawaii.edu<\/a>, and they will be posted the week prior to the next Special Board meeting, currently scheduled for October 16, 2024.<\/p>\n
