Twenty-seven of those years have been with Department of Transportation. During his tenure at the Department of Transportation, Okimoto gained experience both as a staff economist and Deputy Director for Administrations.

Albert (Alapaki) Nahale-a brings a broad range of experience and understanding of the Hawaiian community. Amongst a variety of positions, Nahale-a has served as board member of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, Director of Umeke Ka‘eo Hawaiian Immersion Public Charter School in Keaukaha, and as a local school board member.

Congratulations to the newly confirmed Director and Chairperson.
